What are Wix nameservers?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:41 am

Wix is a popular website builder that enables users to create their own website without any prior coding experience. The website builder includes a built-in domain name server (DNS) that enables users to easily register and manage their domain names.

Wix nameservers are the unique DNS addresses that Wix uses to locate and manage domain names. When you create a new Wix website, the website builder automatically assigns a Wix nameserver to your website.

PRO TIP: If you are using Wix as your DNS provider, you need to use the Wix nameservers in order to resolve your domain name.

The primary purpose of a Wix nameserver is to serve as a location for your website’s domain name. When a user visits your website, the Wix nameserver converts your website’s domain name (for example, mysite.Wix.com) into an IP address (for example, 172.

217.19.133).

Wix nameservers are also used to manage website content and settings. For example, when a user logs in to your website, the Wix nameserver sends the user’s login credentials to the Wix server.

The Wix server then uses these credentials to authenticate the user and to access the user’s account information.

In addition, the Wix nameserver stores the user’s website preferences and history. For example, the Wix nameserver stores the user’s preference settings for fonts, colors, and themes.

Finally, the Wix nameserver is used to generate the website’s unique IP address. When a user visits your website, the Wix nameserver AUTOMATICALLY converts your website’s domain name (for example, mysite.
