How Do I Connect My Domain to My Wix Website?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:47 am

There are a few different ways that you can go about connecting your domain to your Wix website. The most common method is to use a third-party DNS provider, such as GoDaddy or Namecheap.

If you want to use a custom domain with your Wix website, you will need to first purchase a domain from a domain registrar. Once you have done this, you will need to connect your domain to your Wix account.

PRO TIP: If you are using Wix to create a website, you may want to connect your domain to your site. You can do this by going to your Wix account and selecting “Connect Domain.” However, before you do this, you should be aware of a few things.

First, when you connect your domain to Wix, your domain will no longer point to your current website. This means that anyone who goes to your domain will be redirected to your Wix site. If you have email addresses associated with your domain, those will also be affected and you will no longer be able to receive or send email from those addresses.

Second, once you connect your domain to Wix, you will not be able to use it with any other website builder or hosting service. This means that if you ever want to move your website away from Wix, you will need to buy a new domain.

Finally, please be aware that connecting your domain to Wix may result in additional charges from your domain registrar or DNS provider. Be sure to check with them beforehand to avoid any surprises.

The process for doing this is relatively simple. First, you will need to log in to your Wix account and go to the ‘My Domains’ page. From here, you will need to click on the ‘Connect Domain’ button.

Enter your domain name in the box provided and click on the ‘Next’ button. On the next page, you will need to select your domain registrar from the drop-down menu and then click on the ‘Connect Domain’ button again.

Enter your registrar’s login details when prompted and then follow the instructions on the screen to complete the connection process. Once your domain is connected, you will be able to use it with your Wix website.
