Hosting refers to the Internet service provided by Modular Merchant to our clients, which includes the servers, file storage, email, and bandwidth for your store.

Stores without a hosting plan will be assigned to a directory in the shared hosting area at stores.modularmarket.com.

example: store with no hosting plan
My store's account name is my_awesome_store, and my Modular Merchant account does not include a hosting plan. My store is assigned to the my_awesome_store directory in the shared hosting area at stores.modularmarket.com.



The URL for my store is stores.modularmarket.com/my_awesome_store/


Stores with a hosting plan will be hosted under their own domain name. Clients may host their entire domain with Modular Merchant, or host their main website elsewhere and only host a store subdomain, or store subdirectory, with Modular Merchant.

example: store with hosting plan
My store's account name is my_awesome_store, and my Modular Merchant account does include an account plan. I've registered the domain name www.example_website.com at GoDaddy, and my entire website is hosted by Modular Merchant. My store is hosted under my domain name, www.example-website.com.



The URL for my store is www.example-website.com

 

example: store with hosting plan (subdomain option)
My store's account name is my_awesome_store, and my Modular Merchant account does include an account plan. I've registered the domain name www.example_website.com at GoDaddy, and my main website is already hosted elsewhere. I only want Modular Merchant to host my store, in the subdomain store.example-website.com.



The URL for my store is store.example-website.com

 

example: store with hosting plan (directory option)
My store's account name is my_awesome_store, and my Modular Merchant account does include an account plan. I've registered the domain name www.example_website.com at GoDaddy, and my main website is already hosted elsewhere. I only want Modular Merchant to host my store, in the store directory.



The URL for my store is www.example-website.com/store/
