Can You Change Wix Name Servers?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:59 pm

When you first set up your website on Wix, you’re asked to choose a domain name. If you already have a domain name from another provider, you can link it to your Wix site.

If you don’t have a domain name yet, Wix will help you choose one and set it up for you. You can always change your domain name later if you want to.

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.

Your domain name is registered with a domain name registrar. When you set up your Wix site, you’re also setting up DNS (Domain Name System) records for your site. DNS is what connects your domain name (like www.example.com) to your website’s IP address (a string of numbers that tells computers where to find your site on the internet).

Wix manages your DNS records for you. We use our own DNS servers and we automatically update your DNS records when you make changes to your site (like when you publish it or change your site address).

You can also change your DNS settings so that your domain name points to a different website or service. This is called changing your DNS records or changing your name servers.

Can You Change Wix Name Servers?

Yes, you can change Wix name servers if you want to point your domain to another host or service. To do this, you’ll need to change your DNS settings at your domain registrar. Once you’ve made the changes, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate worldwide.

Conclusion:
You can change Wix name servers if you want to point your domain to another host or service, but it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate worldwide.

PRO TIP: If you are considering changing your Wix name servers, be aware that this may adversely affect your website. Wix websites rely on Wix name servers to function properly, and changing them can cause your website to become unavailable or unstable.
