How do I connect my domain to WIX web hosting?

If your domain and any associated services—such as email or email forwarding—are hosted with 1st Domains, you will need to use our name servers. However, you can still connect your domain to Wix.

Wix recommends using their name servers, but doing so would disable your email hosting with us. Fortunately, there is another option: you can keep using our name servers and still connect your domain to Wix. This method is called pointing

To connect your 1st Domains domain name to Wix via pointing, please follow these steps:

  1. Connect the Domain to Your Wix Account:

    • Wix provides instructions on how to do this at Wix Support.
  2. Obtain the Required DNS Records from Wix:

    • After connecting the domain to your Wix account, Wix will provide you with the required DNS records.
      NOTE: If you have already added your domain to your wix hosting, you will have to remove and then re-add to get the pointing option
  3. Log into Your 1st Domains Account:

  4. Manage Your Domain:

    • Select 'Manage Domains & Services'.
    • Click on the domain name you wish to connect to Wix.
  5. Update DNS Zone Records:

    • Click the 'Manage DNS Zone Records' link in the Domain Manager.
    • Add or update the DNS records provided by Wix.

Please note that there is a 1-hour TTL (Time to Live) on the DNS records, so it may take up to 1 hour for the changes to become visible.
