Use Your Own Domain for Your Online Store, With Free SSL

Your free EasyMall store lives at an address like yourshop.easymall.app. That is fine for getting started. As your shop grows, a custom domain for your online store, such as yourbrand.com or yourbrand.com.bd, makes your business look established and is easier for customers to remember.

What a custom domain is

A domain is your website's address. When you own a domain, you can point it to your EasyMall store so customers visit yourbrand.com and see your shop. You buy the domain from a domain registrar, in your own name, and then connect it to EasyMall.

On EasyMall, custom domains are available on the Starter plan (৳699/month) and above. SSL, the security certificate that shows the padlock and HTTPS, is included free.

Why it matters for Bangladeshi sellers

• Trust. Shoppers who have been burned by fake pages look for signs that a business is real. A proper domain is one of them.
• Branding. You can print yourbrand.com on packets, stickers, visiting cards and delivery notes.
• Word of mouth. A short domain is easy to say over the phone or in a Facebook Live.
• Independence. Your domain is yours. If you ever change platform, you can point it somewhere else and customers still find you.
• Professional email. Many sellers also use their domain for email like hello@yourbrand.com, through a separate email service.

.com or .com.bd?

Both work with EasyMall. A .com is widely recognised and quick to buy from international and local registrars. A .com.bd signals a Bangladeshi business; it is registered through BTCL or its authorised resellers and may ask for documents such as a trade license or NID, and can take longer to activate. Check the current requirements and price with the registrar before you buy.

How to connect your domain on EasyMall

1. Choose and buy your domain from a registrar, in your own name, with your own login. Never let a developer register it in their name.
2. Upgrade to Starter or above in your EasyMall dashboard. Pay by bKash or Nagad Send Money. Paying for 6 months saves 10% and 12 months saves 25%.
3. Add your domain in the EasyMall domain settings.
4. Update the DNS records at your registrar using the values EasyMall shows you. This usually takes a few minutes to enter.
5. Wait for it to connect. DNS changes can take from a few minutes to several hours to spread.
6. SSL is issued automatically once the domain points to your store. Your store then loads on HTTPS.
7. Update your links on your Facebook Page, Instagram bio and printed materials.

Tips for choosing a domain

• Keep it short. Under 15 characters if possible, with no hyphens.
• Match your Facebook Page name so customers know it is the same shop.
• Avoid confusing spellings. If you have to spell it on every call, choose something simpler. Try the shop name generator for ideas.
• Check trademarks. Do not use a brand name you do not own.
• Turn on auto-renew at your registrar. An expired domain takes your store offline and can be bought by someone else.
• Keep your registrar login safe and in the business owner's name.

What it costs

There are two separate costs. The domain itself is paid yearly to your registrar; prices differ between .com and .com.bd and between registrars, so compare before you buy. The EasyMall Starter plan is ৳699/month, or less per month if you pay for 6 months (10% off) or 12 months (25% off). Starter also raises your AI assistant to 2,000 replies a month, so you get more than just the domain.

Who it is for

• Shops that have found their market and want a stronger brand
• Sellers running Facebook ads who want a trustworthy landing address
• Businesses that print packaging, cards or banners
• Brands that also want the AI assistant for regular use, since Starter includes 500 AI replies a month

If you are still testing products, the free yourshop.easymall.app address is a fine start. You can add your domain later without rebuilding anything.
