Domains registered with us can have their website hosted with Shopify while keeping domain and email services with us. The DNS is easily updated via the xneelo Control Panel.

We will remain responsible for the domain name administration and will continue to bill you for domain name charges e.g. yearly domain renewal fees as well as your hosting package. 

Although not used for web content, your hosting package is used for your email services.
