Link my domain name to my Wix website

1 Connect your domain name to Wix via DNS pointing
1.1 Step 1 on Wix: Adding your domain
1.2 Step 2 on Netim: Update your DNS records

To link your domain name purchased from Netim to your website created on Wix, we recommend using the DNS pointing method. With this solution, your DNS records will remain hosted with Netim. You simply need to update your DNS settings to point your domain name to your Wix site. This way, your Netim email addresses as well as DNSSEC will remain active.

Connect your domain name to Wix via DNS pointing

Step 1 on Wix: Adding your domain

Before updating your DNS settings at Netim, you must first add your domain to your Wix account. To do this, you can follow the steps provided in the Wix tutorial, or the instructions below:

  1. Go to Domains in your Wix account
  2. Click Add an Existing Domain
  3. Click Connect a domain you already own
  4. Select the site you want to connect your domain to and click Continue
  5. Enter the domain name and click Let’s Go
  6. Click Yes, I own this domain in the sentence below the search field
  7. A pop-up saying Connect “mywebsite.com” to “Your Wix site name” will appear
  8. Do not click the Continue button – instead, in the text below, click on Go to our manual setup
  9. Review the information on screen and click Start
  10. Click pointing at the top of the screen
  11. Click Switch to Pointing Instructions

Step 2 on Netim: Update your DNS records

To finalise the association of your domain name with your Wix site, you need to update the DNS records (CNAME and A records) of your domain in your Netim Direct customer area. To do this:

  1. Keep the Wix instructions page open as described above
  2. In a new tab, log in to your Netim Direct account 
  3. In the Domains menu, click on My domains
  4. Click on the domain name you wish to link to your Wix site
  5. In the My domain name configuration window, click on Zone file

Zone File
  1. Click on the Create a new record button, and select CNAME from the drop-down list.
  2. Complete the form with the information provided on the Wix instructions page (step 4):
    In the Name field, enter ‘www’, then in the Target field, enter the value specified by Wix.
  3. Check the information, then click on Confirm
Create Record
CNAME Record
  1. Again, click on the Create a new record button, and select A from the drop-down list.
  2. Complete the form with the information provided on the Wix instructions page (step 4):
    In the Name field, enter ‘@’, then in the Target field, enter the value specified by Wix.
  3. Check the information, then click on Confirm
A Record

Once these steps are completed, the setup is finished. The DNS record updates may take up to 48 hours before your site is visible and accessible everywhere.
