How Do I Change My Wix Nameservers?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:07 pm

Wix is a popular website builder that allows users to create and design their own websites. One of the great things about Wix is that it offers a variety of ways to change your website’s DNS (Domain Name System) settings.

If you’re not familiar with DNS, it’s basically a system that converts human-readable website addresses (like www.example.com) into the numerical IP addresses that computers use to connect to each other on the internet.

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.

When you create a website with Wix, the company automatically assigns its own DNS servers to your domain name. However, you may want to use different DNS servers for your website for a variety of reasons.

For example, you may want to use servers that are faster or more reliable than Wix’s default servers. Or, you may want to use servers provided by your web hosting company (if you’re using Wix to host your website).

Fortunately, changing your DNS servers on Wix is relatively easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with DNS servers and domain name management, we recommend that you contact your domain name registrar or hosting provider for assistance with changing your Wix nameservers. Incorrectly changing your nameservers can result in your website becoming inaccessible.

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

2. Click on the “Manage” button next to the domain name you want to change.

3. Scroll down to the “Domain Settings” section and click on the “Change” button next to the DNS Settings option.

4. Enter the new DNS servers you want to use in the appropriate fields and click on the “Save” button.

That’s all there is to it! Once you’ve changed your DNS servers, it may take a few hours for the new settings to propagate across the internet. But after that, your website should be accessible using the new servers.
