Connecting Your GoDaddy Domain to Wix via Pointing


Connect your GoDaddy domain to Wix by updating your DNS records in GoDaddy.


Note that when connected via pointing, Wix is unable to help you manage your DNS because the records are hosted at GoDaddy. You'll need to contact GoDaddy if you need help with your DNS.


Alternatively, you can connect your domain via name servers to manage your DNS records in your Wix account. Learn more about the differences between connection methods.
