Can I Point My Domain to Wix?

Last updated on January 3, 2023 @ 9:35 pm

You can point your domain to Wix!

If you have a domain that you’ve purchased from a domain registrar, such as GoDaddy, 1&1 IONOS, or Hover, you can connect it to your Wix site. This allows you to use your own custom domain name (e.g. www.example.com) instead of a Wix-branded domain name (e.g. www.wixsite.com/example).

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

To connect your own domain name to your Wix site:

    1. Log in to your Wix account and go to the Dashboard.

    2. Click Connect Domain under ‘Domains.’

    3. Enter your domain name in the box and click Continue.

    PRO TIP: If you are planning to point your domain to Wix, be aware that your site may experience some downtime during the transfer process. Additionally, your DNS settings will need to be updated to point to Wix’s servers.

    4. If you purchased your domain from Wix, select I own this domain and click Continue.
    If you didn’t purchase your domain from Wix, select I have another provider and click Continue.

    5. Enter the nameservers provided by your domain registrar in the ‘Nameservers’ section and click Continue.
