Christina explained how to setup DNSMadeEasy in an answer to http://forums.shopify.com/categories/1/posts/15223#comment-15232

Basic Setup

1. Login to your dnsmadeeasy account
2. Click on “Classic Setup” ->Add New Domain
3. Next screen: enter name “example.com” (without “www”), click “continue”.
4. Next screen: confirm
5. Next screen: you will be given information to pass on to your registrar, so that they’ll know where to find you. These are the dnsmadeeasy nameservers with the relevant IP addresses.
6. Next screen: you will see a table listing your domain. Now click on “Records”, further along in the row.
7. Next screen: go to CNAME records.Under “name”, enter “www”; under “value”, enter “example.myshopify.com”. Confirm if necessary.
8. Next screen: go to Add HTTP Redirection records. Under “name”, enter nothing; under “value”, enter “http://www.your_domain_name.com”. Confirm if necessary. This will automatically redirect any incoming traffic from http://your_domain_name.com to http://www.your_domain_name.com and prevent any conflicts.

Mail

If you have mail going to another server, go to “MX Records”. Under “mail for this host”, enter “example.com”; under “sent to this server”, enter your mail server’s IP address, MX level 10. That’s it for dnsmadeeasy.

In Shopify

Go to your admin screen in Shopify. ->Preferences ->DNS & Domains. Click on “I would like to add another hostname” Enter www.example.com; then click on “make this my primary domain”.
