Can I Use Wix Domain on WordPress?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:13 am

If you’re looking to use a Wix domain on WordPress, you may be wondering if it’s possible. The answer is yes, you can use a Wix domain on WordPress. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, you’ll need to have a WordPress hosting account that supports custom domains. Second, you’ll need to configure your DNS settings to point your Wix domain to your WordPress site. And third, you may need to adjust your WordPress settings to reflect your new domain.

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.

Assuming you have a WordPress hosting account that supports custom domains, the next step is to configure your DNS settings. To do this, you’ll need to login to your Wix account and go to the “Domains” tab.

From here, click on the “Advanced Settings” link next to your domain. On the next page, scroll down to the “DNS Settings” section and click on the “Manage DNS Records” button.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using a Wix domain on WordPress, be aware that there are potential risks involved. WordPress is a powerful platform that can be customized to fit nearly any need, but it is also complex and can be difficult to manage. Wix is a much simpler platform, but it is not as flexible or customizable as WordPress. Additionally, using a Wix domain on WordPress may limit your ability to use certain plugins or themes, and it could also make your site more difficult to manage.

On the DNS Records page, you’ll need to add two new records: an A record and a CNAME record. The A record should be configured with your WordPress site’s IP address, and the CNAME record should be configured with your WordPress site’s URL. Once you’ve added these records, click on the “Save Changes” button and then wait for the changes to propagate (this can take up to 48 hours).

After the DNS changes have propagated, you can test things out by going to your WordPress site and seeing if it loads with your new Wix domain. If it does, then congratulations!

You’ve successfully used a Wix domain on WordPress. If not, then there may be something else wrong – double check that your DNS settings are correct and that your WordPress hosting account supports custom domains.

So there you have it – using a Wix domain on WordPress is possible, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Be sure to have a hosting account that supports custom domains and then configure your DNS settings accordingly. Once those steps are completed, you should be good to go!
