Adding a DNS record on Wix is a straightforward process. Here’s how you do it:
Steps to Add a DNS Record on Wix
- Locate the DNS Settings:
- Log in to your Wix account and go to your site's dashboard.
- Navigate to "Settings" and then "Domains".
- Click the "More Actions" icon (usually represented by three dots) next to your domain.
- Select "Manage DNS Records".
- Add a New Record:
- Scroll to the specific record type you wish to add (e.g., CNAME, TXT, A Record, MX Record).
- Click the + Add Record button next to the desired record type.
- Enter the DNS Record Details:
- Fill in the relevant fields according to the instructions provided by your service provider.
- Important: If you are instructed to use the "@" symbol in the Host Name field, leave the Host Name field blank in Wix instead.
- Save Your Changes:
- Click the Save button after filling in the DNS record details.
- A pop-up message will appear; click Save Changes to confirm your update.
Example Scenario: Adding a CNAME Record
Let’s say you want to add a CNAME record with the following details:
- Host Name: www
- Value: yourdomain.example.com
Here's how you'd do it on Wix:
| Field | Entry |
|---|---|
| Host Name | www |
| Value | yourdomain.example.com |
After filling out these details, you would click Save and then Save Changes in the pop-up.
Key Points to Remember
- DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet, so your changes might not be immediately visible.
- Always verify that you have the correct DNS record information before saving.
- If you have any issues, it's best to contact Wix support or your service provider.
