If a premium member on pixels.com, you have the opportunity to use your own domain pointing to your shop
However, if you just point it then you will not see a lock and you may get a warning that the site is not secure. Here is a workaround.
To create a secure site on our own domain when pointing to a premium site using custom domains
First of all create a new free account on https://cloudflare.com
Click Add site
It will say
We’re querying your DNS records
Press Next
Click on the FREE plan
Then, Confirm Plan
A popup will ask if you are sure.
Confirm
You are taken to a page of details about your site. You need to change the A and CNAME areas
First create new ones
Use your own domain where mine is, obviously
When you have added those two, delete the other A and CNAME fields that were there previously
Log into your domain host
Under DNS go to NAMESERVERS and change the nameservers to
The first one ruth.ns.cloudflare.com
Second one seth.ns.cloudflare.com
Now all you have to do is enable your free SSL on Cloudflare
Go to your new site on Cloudflare (under Account Home)
See SECURITY on that page
Go to the SSL settings and enable your SSL certificate
Log into your premium site on pixels.com and go to CUSTOM DOMAINS and add your domain
Mine is added like this
abbie-shores.com
do not add www or https://
This now can take up to 72 hours to populate but, to be honest, I have never known it even take an hour
Once it has, you can go to your domain using https:// in the address…. like mine is https://ift.tt/2IUIxsK and you are now at a secure server showing your premium site
