PRO TIP: When connecting GoDaddy to Wix, it is important to be aware that you are linking your GoDaddy account to a third-party website builder. This means that you will be sharing some of your account information, including your login credentials, with Wix.com. While Wix is a reputable website builder, there is always a risk when sharing your account information with a third party. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of both GoDaddy and Wix before proceeding, and only link your accounts if you are comfortable with the risks involved.
