Step 1 | Add the Domain to Your Wix Account
Before updating the DNS settings in your domain host account, you'll need to add the domain to your Wix account.
To add your domain:
- Go to Domains in your Wix account.
- Click Add an Existing Domain.
- Click Connect a domain you already own.
- Select the site you want to connect your domain to and click Next.
- Enter your domain name and click Let's Go.
- Click Yes, I own this domain.
Step 2 | Update the Name Servers in Your Hayhost Account
To connect your domain, you need to update your name server settings in your domain provider's account (this is usually the company you bought your domain from).
We'll guide you through the process of changing the name servers in your provider's account. Keep this page open for reference, and follow the step-by-step on-screen instructions in your Wix account.
The instructions in your account will tell you everything you need to know, including the name servers you should use to connect your domain.
To update the Name Servers:
- Log into your domain host.
- Open a new tab in your browser.
- Go to your domain host's site and log in.
- Return to the Wix domains page.
- Click I logged in.
- Find your domain settings page.
- Go to the domains page on your domain host's site.
- Find your domain and go to the settings panel.
- Return to the Wix domains page.
- Click I found my domain settings.
- Find your name servers
- In your domain settings, find the area where you manage or edit name server records.
- Return to the Wix domains page.
- Click I found the nameservers.
- Replace your name servers.
- On your domain host's site, delete the old name servers, and replace them with the Wix name servers shown on the screen.
- Click I've replaced my nameservers.
Step 3 | Wait for Your Domain to Propagate
Your work is done. It may take up to 48 hours for your domain's new DNS records to propagate and your site to appear worldwide.
