Connecting your domain to WIX

In this guide we are going to go through the process of pointing your domain name to WIX.

Wix supports two methods to do this, either via updating your domains nameservers, or creating A records and C NAME records, the recommended method is Nameservers, but if you have any other DNS records configured you would need to duplicate these over to WIX too

Method 1 – Namesevers

1. Log in to your purely.website account.
2. Using the top menu sub menu, click Domains.
3. Click on the domain name you wish to use.
4. In the left side menu click Nameservers.
5. Tick Use custom nameservers, now enter the following two nameserver and click Change nameservers,
   ns1.wix.com
   ns2.wix.com
6. Wait 24 hours for the DNS to propagate

Method 2 – A record / IP address

While signed into your Wix account, check this page to view the correct details you need to use. The below is just an example.

1. Log in to your purely.website account.
2. Using the top menu sub menu, click Domains.
3. In the left side menu, click Manage DNS.
4. Find the domain you wish to update/create the A record for.
5. Click on the edit icon next to your domains DNS zone.
6. Click the Add Record button.
   A record for pointing to 23.236.62.147*
   CNAME record for www pointing to www192.wixdns.net*
   CNAME record for m pointing to www192.wixdns.net*
7. Ensure your nameservers are set to “purely.website – (purely.website Inclusive DNS)” as per this article.

Once the records have been added, login to your WIX account to verify the domain connection, step 3 of this guide https://support.wix.com/en/article/connecting-a-domain-to-the-wix-name-servers
