Connecting your own domain

Your own domain is your store's independent identity – with Sellvio you can use your existing one or buy a new one. Here is the overview, along with what you need to know about storage expansion.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Upon registration, your store receives a sajatnev.mysellvio.com address – this is perfect for an immediate start –, but you can use your own domain name at any time at Sellvio.

  • You already have a domainYou can easily connect your existing domain name to Sellvio – your store continues to run on your own address.
  • You do not have a domain yetYou can buy one directly from Sellvio or from any external provider – both routes are fully valid.

An SSL certificate is included with the domain – the padlock in the browser is a basic expectation today; without it, customers would not even enter their payment details.

What if I outgrow my storage?

No problem: the storage of the base packages (3 GB in Starter) can be expanded as a premium service – for an extra monthly fee you can increase your webshop's storage at any time, up to 500 GB. Your store's growth will never hit a technical ceiling.

💡 If you switch platforms, redirecting the domain is a key step: with 301 redirects the search value built up by your old URLs moves along too – you will find the details in the SEO settings article.
