BTW, you could say that the DNS can do its part with SRV records (on a
port-by-port basis), but that doesn't do any good since current
browsers don't look up and use such DNS records.

_http._tcp.mydomain.com. SRV 1 1 80 mydomain.myshopify.com.
_http._tcp.www.mydomain.com. SRV 1 1 80 mydomain.myshopify.com.
