Can I connect my Wix site to my own domain?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:27 am

If you want to connect your Wix site to your own domain, you will need to first create a custom DNS record for your site. To do this, you will need to go to your hosting provider’s control panel and open your site’s DNS settings. Once you have access to your site’s DNS settings, you will need to create a new A record that points to your host’s IP address. You will also need to create a CNAME record that points to your custom domain name.

PRO TIP: If you are using Wix to create a website, you can connect your own domain name to your website. However, it is important to note that Wix does not provide domain name registration services. This means that you will need to register your domain name with a third-party provider before you can connect it to your Wix website.

Once your DNS records are created, you will need to add the appropriate lines to your site’s hosting provider’s configuration file. To do this, you will need to locate your hosting provider’s file and search for a line that reads “server_name_lighttpd”. You will then need to replace server_name_lighttpd with your custom domain name.
