Adding or Updating A Records in Your Wix Account

An A (Host) DNS record is used to point your domain name and host names to a static IP address. You can add or update your A records from the Domains page of your Wix account.

Important:

If your domain is connected to Wix via pointing, you must add or update A records with your domain host (not Wix).
