 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2: Get Domain for Store<\/h3>\n

In Step 1 you created an online store and\u00a0although you get a free vDomain from hipKart but as it was explain into course you must have a domain for your store. To get a domain open GoDaddy.com<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enter a desired domain name here and then Add To Cart. Don’t worry if you don’t find exact match as you want like if you want kishorhandicrafts.com and Godaddy says this domain is not available don’t panic in this situation you can try different combinations of these as follow<\/p>\n

kishorehandicrafts.com\u00a0 – Notice the “e” before “h”<\/p>\n

kishorhandicraft.com\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0–\u00a0 Removed the “s” in the last<\/p>\n

kishorehandicraft.com\u00a0 \u00a0– Added “e” before “h” and remove “s” in the last<\/p>\n

thekishorhandicrafts.com – Add “the” before the name<\/p>\n

Same way you can create any changes to your desired name and find which domain is available. Adding\/Removing characters for domain name is never an issue it is the best practice to get desired domain\u00a0 name. As you see your desired domain name is available Click on “Add to Cart” button<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you Add to Cart your domain then click on “Continue Cart”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you Click on Continue Cart you will see a page from GoDaddy asking you for more services like Hosting,\u00a0Privacy,\u00a0Email address etc. Choose “No Thanks” for all services and click on the button “Continue with these options”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you click on “Continue with these Options” you will landed to Cart page of GoDaddy. Confirm on that page that you have added correct domain into your cart and then complete the purchase process by making Payment for your domain.<\/p>\n

Once you make payment and buy the domain successfully, you can see that under “My Products<\/a>” in GoDaddy.\u00a0 You will see your purchased domain under “Domains” tab and you can see buttons in front of your domain name.\u00a0 You need to click “DNS” button<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you click on “DNS” button you will landed on “DNS Management” page.\u00a0 Scroll the page down and look for “Nameservers” section on the page. You will see a “Change” button into that section.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You need to enter DNS values of hipkart into these input boxes, enter\u00a0 NS2.HIPKLOUD.COM and\u00a0 NS3.HIPKLOUD.COM\u00a0into input boxes and then click on “Save” button<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your work is done here, now GoDaddy will point DNS for your domain to HipKloud server this process can take 24 – 48 hours. By that time let’s do the next steps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3: Attach domain with your store<\/h3>\n

Now you have a online store and you have purchased a desired domain. Now you need to link your store your domain, so that by the time GoDaddy will point DNS, HipKart also know about your domain and it will link that with your store.<\/p>\n

Go to My Store > Domain Name > Store Domain in your hipKart store admin panel. Don’t forget that you have saved your store settings.<\/p>\n
