How to connect your domain to Wix

Want to link your domain to a Wix site? Porkbun has you covered.

Before we begin, you will need to add your custom Porkbun domain to your Wix account. Step 1 of this guide from Wix Help Center shows you how.

⚠️️ Note

If you're currently using Wix free plan, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan before you can connect your domain to your Wix site.

Next, you have two options to connect your Porkbun domain to your Wix website: nameservers or DNS records. Either method should work, it really comes down to whether you'd prefer to administer your DNS settings at Wix or at Porkbun.

Method 1: Connecting via Wix Nameservers

If you just want Wix to take care of everything: website, email, and DNS management, this is the quickest way to do it. Please note that if you added any custom DNS records at Porkbun previously, you'll need to re-add them at Wix using their DNS editor.

1
Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management. 
2
In a new tab, be sure to log into your Wix account and go to your Wix domains page. You will want to have this page open, while you add Wix nameservers in Porkbun, as noted in their guide on configuring nameservers.
3
Click the Details button to the far right of your domain, to show the domain Details area. In the domain Details area, click the "Edit" option next to Authoritative Nameservers.
3
A pop-up window should appear with your current nameservers. If you’ve never changed this setting before, the list is pre-populated with Porkbun’s nameservers.
4
Remove all of the existing entries by highlighting and deleting them. Add the Wix nameservers, one per line. Click the blue “Submit” button to save your changes. For example:

Please Note:

Please note that changes to your authoritative nameservers will take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide. In practice, most places will see the change within a few hours. To track nameserver propagation, you can use a free service like www.whatsmydns.net and select NS as the record type.

Method 2: Connect to Wix using DNS records

1
Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management. 
2
In a new tab, be sure to log into your Wix account and go to your Wix domains page. You will want to have this page open while you add Wix DNS records in Porkbun, as noted in their guide on connecting your domain by pointing DNS records.
4
Click the Details button to the far right of your domain, to show the domain Details area. In the domain Details area, click the "Edit" option next to DNS records.

5
On the Manage DNS Records screen, scroll down and locate anyA,  ALIAS, or CNAME records that are pointing at the wrong web server. Click the trash can icons to the right of the bad records to remove them.
5
First, let's add the A record. Scroll up to the top of the Manage DNS Records screen to add the correct A record. Here's what you want to enter for the A record:
Type: "A - Address record"
Host: left blank
Answer: This will be the IP address provided by Wix, which can be found on your Wix domains page that you should already have open.
Here's an example:

Next, you are going to want to add your CNAME record provided by Wix. Again scroll up to the top of the Manage DNS Records screen to add the correct CNAME record. Here's what you want to enter for the CNAME record:
Type: "CNAME - Canonical name record"
Host:"www"
Answer: This will be the value provided by Wix, which can be found on your Wix domains page that you should already have open.
Here's an example:

Please Note:

It can take 24 to 48 hours for the DNS changes to propagate. That means your site may not work immediately after updating the DNS records but rest assured that you’ll be up and running shortly as long as the DNS changes were made correctly.
