# Configuring Multi-Store

{% hint style="info" %}
Since `magento-scripts` 2.2.0
{% endhint %}

## 1. Add domain to the /etc/hosts file

In order for this config to work you need to add your host domain to the `/etc/hosts` file, for example:

```bash
# /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 scandipwa.local # some other domain
```

## 2. Setup CMA

Multi-Store configuration is available via `storeDomains` property in `cma.js`.

You will need to put the store code as a `key` and your desired domain name as a `value` in this property, for example `admin` store key and `localhost` domain:

{% code title="cma.js" %}

```javascript
module.exports = {
    // other configurations
    storeDomains: {
        admin: 'scandipwa.local'
    }
};
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Domain value must be pure like `google.com` or `scandipwa.local` or similar.

Subdomains can be used as well.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
CMA will retrieve store codes from the `store_website` table, so make sure that the table is not empty.
{% endhint %}

That is it! Just now we have setup a domain in our application!\
Now to apply changes we need to run the [start](/getting-started/available-commands/start.md) command **without** [**-s option**](/getting-started/available-commands/start.md#s-skip-setup).
