Where the DNS settings live
- Sign in and open Domains from your Wix account menu.
- Click the three-dot icon next to the domain and choose Manage DNS Records.
Adding a record
- Find the section for the record type you need (A, CNAME, MX, TXT each have their own block).
- Click + Add Record inside that block.
- Enter the host name and value, then Save.
Editing or deleting a record
- Click the pencil next to the record, change the value, and save.
- The bin icon deletes it.
Changing the nameservers
- Wix only offers a nameserver change if the domain is registered with Wix.
- From the domain's advanced settings choose Change Your Wix Nameservers, then I want to use external nameservers.
Gotchas at Wix
- If your Wix site is connected by "pointing" rather than nameservers, the DNS editor at Wix is not the one in effect — edit records at your registrar instead.
- Wix does not allow deleting the records that keep a connected Wix site online.
After you save
DNS changes aren't instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere. Use the Route Planner's live check to see what the world sees, and the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
