Connect your domain using Wix
Follow this guide if Wix manages your domain’s DNS. We use example.com as an example; select your own domain when following the steps.
1. Request your DNS records
Email support@wodboard.com, saying “Please send us our DNS records.” Include the domain you want to connect.
We’ll send you your A, CNAME and TXT records. Wait until you receive these before making changes. Use the exact values we supply.
2. Open your DNS settings
- Sign in to Wix and open Domains.
- Open the Domain Actions menu next to your domain.
- Select Manage DNS Records.
If your domain connects to Wix using pointing, or uses another provider’s nameservers, edit the records with your DNS provider instead. Contact us if you’re unsure where to make the changes.
Take a screenshot of your existing records before editing. Only change the website records described below. Keep email records and records for other services unchanged. Do not change your nameservers.
Updating these website records will replace the connection to your previous website, so make the changes when you’re ready to switch.
3. Update the A record
Under A (Host), edit the record for your main domain, or select + Add Record if it doesn’t exist.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Type | A |
| Host Name | Leave blank for the main domain. Wix uses a blank field instead of @ |
| Value | The IP address we supplied |
| TTL | Leave at the default setting, if shown |
Save and confirm any Save Changes prompt.
If multiple A records cover the main domain, send us a screenshot before removing any. We’ll confirm which old website records need replacing. Leave records for other hosts unchanged.
4. Update the CNAME record
Under CNAME (Aliases), edit the www record, or add one if it doesn’t exist.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME |
| Host Name | www |
| Value | The CNAME target we supplied |
| TTL | Leave at the default setting, if shown |
Save and confirm any prompt. Copy the target exactly, without adding https:// or a page address.
If Wix reports that the hostname is already in use, contact us before deleting anything.
5. Add the TXT record
Under TXT (Text), select + Add Record.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Host Name | The host we supplied. If we supplied @ , leave this field blank |
| Value | The full TXT value we supplied |
| TTL | Leave at the default setting, if shown |
Save and confirm any prompt. Leave TTL at its default wherever shown.
Add this as a separate record. Do not replace or delete existing TXT records, including email verification and security records.
6. Let us know
Reply to our email once all three records are saved. We’ll check the connection, including any other settings that may affect your website.
Allow up to 48 hours for DNS changes to update everywhere. Some visitors may still see your previous website during this time.
If anything looks different or you’re unsure, send us a screenshot and we’ll help, or arrange a call.
