How Do I Forward a Domain on Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:47 am

If you have a domain that you registered with Wix, you can easily forward it to another site. Simply login to your Wix account, go to the Domains tab, and click on the domain name that you want to forward.

Then, click on the DNS Settings tab and scroll down to the Domain Forwarding section. Enter the URL where you want your domain to be forwarded, select whether or not you want www included in the forwarding address, and click Save.

You can also forward your domain through your registrar. If you registered your domain through Wix, you can login to your Wix account, go to the Domains tab, and click Manage next to your domain name.

This will take you to the registrar’s site where you can manage your DNS settings. Look for the Domain Forwarding or URL Forwarding section and enter the URL where you want your domain forwarded.

PRO TIP: If you are considering forwarding your domain on Wix, please be aware that there are some potential risks. First, if you forward your domain without masking, anyone who types in your domain name will be taken directly to the destination URL. This means that your domain name will no longer be associated with your website, and you may lose any search engine ranking or traffic that you have built up. Additionally, if you do not set up a 301 redirect, visitors who type in your old domain name may see a “Page Not Found” error. Finally, please be aware that forwarding your domain will not automatically update any email addresses or other services that use your old domain name – you will need to update these yourself.

If you registered your domain with another registrar, you’ll need to login to their site and look for the Domain Forwarding or URL Forwarding section. Once you’ve found it, enter the URL where you want your domain forwarded.

Conclusion

Forwarding your domain is a simple process that can be done through Wix or your registrar’s site. Just enter the URL where you want your domain forwarded and save the changes.
