DNS
From Shopify Wiki
Shopify gives you a free xxx.myshopify.com style domain for your store. For most customers this is enough but some customers want the extra aesthetics and recognition value that come from a real www.myshop.com style address.
This process can be relatively easy, but there is a little work that goes into setting it up. Since some registrars don't offer adequate support for such setups on their documentation, you will likely want to contact them directly if you run into trouble.
In this section we collect tips and tricks as well as tutorials for the most popular registrars.

Troubleshooting
- A records
Note: Do not use an A record (IP Address) to point your domain to Shopify. IP addresses are subject to change over time, which can leave your shop inaccessible.
- Can't find your registrar here? Not sure how to proceed?
Try using one of the existing tutorials as a guide and contact the Support staff at your Domain host for more assistance. (Then for extra points, come back and contribute your steps as a new entry to help others ! =) )
