Whether you build your store on Easy Orders or Zaatiq, your site on WordPress, or even with AI tools — every path leads to the same step: a custom domain in your project's name. This guide answers the questions every store owner in Egypt asks: Where do I buy the domain? How do I pay without an international card? And how do I connect it to my platform? Step by step.

⚡ Quick Summary — How to Get a Domain for Your Store in Egypt?

Pick a short, clear name (.com is best), buy it from an Egyptian provider that accepts local payment (Vodafone Cash/InstaPay) like IT Plus with no international card, then connect it to your platform by adding the DNS records it asks for (from your DNS management). Connecting differs slightly by platform — but the idea is the same: copy the records the platform shows you and add them in your DNS manager. Start by searching for your domain name.

First: Choosing the Right Domain Name

• Short and easy to pronounce — customers sometimes type it by hand.
• .com first if available — the most trusted and memorable. Good alternatives: .net, .store, or .shop for stores.
• Avoid hyphens and numbers as much as possible — they make it harder to say and remember.
• Keep it close to your brand name for consistency across store, social, and ads.
• Try now: search for your name here — instant results.

Second: Buying and Paying in EGP (No International Card)

The known problem: global sites (GoDaddy · Namecheap) require an international card in USD. At IT Plus you pay in Egyptian pounds via:

• Vodafone Cash 📱
• InstaPay 🏦

No Visa or Mastercard, no "virtual card," no coupons or complications. You transfer, send the receipt, and confirmation is quick.

Prices are fixed and transparent: .com at $10.85/year (in EGP equivalent) — same price to renew. Compare that to sites that sell you a cheap first year then renew at double.

Third: Connecting the Domain to Your Platform — Based on What You Use

Every platform gives you DNS records, and you add them from DNS Management in your account with us. Here's how, by platform:

🛒 Easy Orders / Zaatiq (ready-made stores)

1. In store settings: add the custom domain (without www).
2. Copy the DNS records the platform requests (usually A + CNAME).
3. Add them in your DNS management, and wait for propagation (minutes to hours). ➡️ Full step-by-step: How to connect a domain on Easy Orders

🤖 Lovable / Vercel / Bolt (AI website builders)

1. In project settings: Domains → add your domain.
2. Add the required records (A + TXT verification) from our DNS management, or change nameservers if the platform asks.
3. Click Verify in the platform — done, and SSL is issued automatically. ➡️ Full guide: How to buy and connect a domain for a Lovable site

📝 WordPress / Full Hosting

• If you host with us: order hosting with the domain and automatic connection.
• If your hosting is external: change the nameservers from your domain page with us to your host's nameservers — one minute.

Common Mistakes When Connecting a Domain (Beware)

• Copying the record wrong — copy the value literally as the platform shows it (no extra spaces).
• Forgetting the verification (TXT) record on platforms that require it (like Lovable) — the domain stays unverified.
• Judging too early before propagation — DNS takes time (minutes to hours).
• Choosing an extension cheap in year one but expensive to renew — check the renewal price.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Where do I buy a store domain and pay in EGP? From an Egyptian provider that accepts local payment like IT Plus — via Vodafone Cash or InstaPay, with no international card.

2. How long does connecting take? Adding the records takes minutes; propagation is usually minutes to a few hours (max 24–48 hours, up to 72 in some cases).

3. Do I have full DNS control? Yes — free full management (A / CNAME / TXT / MX) from your account, useful for company email or verification tools.

4. Who owns the domain? You own it 100% — registered in your name, transferable anytime with no restrictions.

5. Which extension should I choose for my store? .com first if available (most trusted). Alternatives: .store, .shop, or .net.

6. Need email on the domain name? Available — company email works on the same domain (like info@yourstore.com).
