How Do I Point My GoDaddy Site to Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:46 am

Assuming you’ve already created a website on Wix, you can use GoDaddy to connect your domain name to your Wix site. You’ll need to change your domain’s DNS (Domain Name System) settings to point to Wix. This will route traffic from your domain name to your Wix site.

To do this, you’ll need to log in to your GoDaddy account and access your domain’s DNS settings. Then, you’ll need to add two CNAME (Canonical Name) records.

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

PRO TIP: If you are using GoDaddy as your domain registrar and Wix as your website builder, you may want to point your domain to Wix. However, this is not a straightforward process and there are a few things you need to be aware of before proceeding.

Firstly, you will need to set up a custom DNS record with GoDaddy in order to point your domain to Wix. This is not a difficult process, but it is something that needs to be done correctly in order for it to work properly.

Once you have set up the custom DNS record, you then need to change the nameservers for your domain with GoDaddy. This is a relatively simple process, but again, it is important to ensure that everything is done correctly.

Finally, once you have changed the nameservers for your domain, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate and for your domain to start resolving to your Wix site. This is due to the way DNS works and is completely normal.

So, in summary, if you want to point your GoDaddy domain to Wix, you need to set up a custom DNS record and then change the nameservers for your domain. Please be aware that it can

The first CNAME record will be for “www” and it should point to “wixsite.com.” The second CNAME record should be for “default” and it should also point to “wixsite.”

Once you’ve added the two CNAME records, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate. After that, anyone who visits your domain name will be redirected to your Wix website.
