Last updated on January 9, 2023 @ 8:09 pm

GoDaddy is a popular website hosting and domain name registrar. Many people wonder if they can use their GoDaddy domain with Wix, and the answer is yes!

Wix is a popular website builder that allows users to create stunning websites with no programming required. One of the great things about Wix is that it offers a free plan, as well as paid plans with more features.

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.

To use your GoDaddy domain with Wix, you will need to connect your domain to Wix. This can be done in just a few steps:

  1. Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to your domains page.
  2. Click on the domain you want to use with Wix.
  3. Click the DNS button next to your domain.
  4. Add two CNAME records:
    • “@” points to “wixsite.com”
    • “www” points to “wixsite.com”

Note: It may take up to 48 hours for these changes to propagate.

PRO TIP: While it is possible to use a GoDaddy domain with Wix, it is not recommended. This is because GoDaddy is known for being difficult to work with, and Wix is known for being much easier to use. Additionally, Wix offers a free domain with their annual plan, so there is no need to use a GoDaddy domain with Wix.
  1.  Go back to your Wix account and click the Connect Domain button.
  2. Enter your domain name and click Continue.
  3. If you have a free Wix plan, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan in order to connect your domain.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the connection.
  5. Once you have completed these steps, your GoDaddy domain will be connected to your Wix site!
