Pointing www to the Store

By default, Yahoo! sets up your domain so that it points in two different “directions”:

■ Type www.yourdomain.com into a browser, and the browser goes to your web-hosting
account at Yahoo!.
■ Type store.yourdomain.com into a browser, and the browser goes to your store pages.
What if you’re not planning to use the web-hosting account? If you have decided to use
Merchant Solutions alone and want to point www.yourdomain.com to the store itself, you can
change this setting:

1. In Store Manager, click the Domain link (near the top-right corner) to open the Domain
Control Panel.
2. Click the Manage Domain & Subdomains link.
3. You’ll see the domain listed in a table; click the Edit link.
4. In the following page, select the Change the destination to my Store Editor home
page option button.
5. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
The change won’t be immediate; the switchover may take a few minutes or could take eight
hours or more to complete. Eventually, however, when anyone types www.yourdomain.com into
a browser, they’ll end up at your store’s home page.
