How to Set Up a Custom Domain in Magento

1. Point Your Domain to Your Server

• Go to your domain registrar (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)

• Set the A record of your domain to point to your server's IP address

  2. Update Web Server Configuration

  Depending on what web server you use (Apache or Nginx), update the configuration:

  For Apache:

  • Edit your virtual host file (usually in /etc/apache2/sites-available/)

  • Set ServerName to your new domain

  • Example:

    apache

    CopyEdit

    <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName yourdomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/magento/ ... </VirtualHost>

    For Nginx:

    • Update your Nginx config (usually in /etc/nginx/sites-available/)

    • Example:

      nginx

      CopyEdit

      server { listen 80; server_name yourdomain.com; root /var/www/html/magento; ... }

      Restart Apache or Nginx after updating:

      bash

      CopyEdit

      sudo systemctl restart apache2 # or for Nginx sudo systemctl restart nginx

      3. Update Magento Base URLs

      Run the following commands (replace yourdomain.com with your domain):

      bash

      CopyEdit

      php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url=http://yourdomain.com/ php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url-secure=https://yourdomain.com/

      4. Clear Cache & Reindex Magento

      bash

      CopyEdit

      php bin/magento cache:flush php bin/magento indexer:reindex

      5. Optional: Set Up HTTPS

      If you want to use SSL (HTTPS), install a certificate (like from Let's Encrypt) and configure your server accordingly.
