Important: Before you can connect a domain, your Wix site must be upgraded to a Premium Plan.
There are three ways how you can point your
domain registered with us
to your website created with Wix - you can do it with the help of
nameservers, using an IP address or our Wix DNS template.
PLEASE NOTE: By default, Wix recommends choosing nameservers setup.
