Just as a follow on to that prior thread.
I was able to setup the CNAME for www and * at the Registrar without A
records as indicated. Unfortunately the * at registrar equated to "*."
Meaning for example ftp.mydomain.com would work with that CNAME but the
domain
itself, mydomain.com, would not. Despite the ecommerce vendor
(Amazon
ultimately) saying one should NOT setup A records their response to
us was to
leave the two CNAMES (www and *) in place and setup an 3 A records
for the
domain itself.
Thanks Jeff: I ended up setting up a website with a permanent
redirect on my webserver server to the shopify server...hopefully that will
work.

"mydomain.com" is a real domain, and probably not yours. If for some
reason
you do not want to mention your real domain name, use
"example.com" (or
example.TLD for most top-level domains), which is
reserved for examples.

This is beginning to be a FAQ here, perhaps due to the popularity of
such
hosting services (which seem to have been designed by people who
have a poor
understanding of DNS.)
This was my reply in a thread last month; refer to the entire thread
