It depends on what type of domain you have. If you have a domain name that is registered with a third party other than Wix, such as GoDaddy, then you will need to contact that company in order to transfer the registration over to Wix.
However, if you have a domain name that is registered through Wix, then it can be easily transferred over to another account on our platform.
If you’re not happy with your current web hosting provider and are looking to make a switch, there’s no need to give up your domain name. You can transfer your domain from GoDaddy to Wix easily and without losing any of your website’s data.
Should I Transfer My Domain to Wix?
There are a lot of reasons to switch to Wix! Here are just a few:
- You’ll get a free domain for one year with your annual plan.
- You can connect your own domain name (that you already have) to your Wix site.
- Wix doesn’t raise prices when you renew your domain as some other providers do. In fact, they often offer discounts on renewals.
- They make it easy to transfer your domain to them with their Domain Transfer Concierge service – which is free!
- Your site will be more secure with Wix since they handle all of the updates and security patches for you automatically.
- And if you ever need help, their award-winning support team is available 24/7 via phone, email, and live chat.
So… should YOU transfer your domain to Wix? If any of the above reasons resonate with you, then we say “go for it!” It’s a pretty painless process and once you make the switch, we think you’ll be happy that you did!
How to Connect My Domain to Wix for Free?
If you have a domain name from a third-party provider and you want to use it with your Wix website, you can connect it to your Wix account for free. To do this, you need to change your domain’s DNS (Domain Name System) settings and point them to Wix. This process is sometimes called “pointing” or “DNS forwarding.”

Before you begin, make sure that your domain is not already connected to another site. You can check this in the Domains tab of your My Account page. If your domain is already connected, you need to first disconnect it before connecting it to Wix.
Once you’ve verified that your domain is available, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Wix account and go to the My Account page.
- Click Connect Domain under ‘Domains.
- Enter your domain name in the box and click Continue.
- Select I’ll configure my DNS settings now (recommended).
- Click Continue again on the next page (which provides instructions on how to update your DNS settings).
- Make sure that the following two A Record values are entered correctly in your DNS settings: 193\.222\.148\.244 185\.230\.60\.229
- Save changes to your DNS settings and wait 24-48 hours for them to propagate across the internet; then, return to the My Account page in order to confirm that your domain has been successfully connected!
Connect Godaddy Domain to Wix Via Pointing
Assuming you would like a blog post discussing how to connect a GoDaddy domain to a Wix site: If you have a domain registered with GoDaddy and want to use it with your Wix site, you can do so by pointing your DNS (Domain Name System) to Wix. This will route all traffic from your domain to your Wix site.
To point your DNS to Wix, you’ll need to change the A and CNAME records in your GoDaddy account. Before making any changes to your DNS records, we recommend that you first verify which type of SSL certificate is installed on your site. You can check this in the Site Manager under Security & SSL.
If an Automatic Certificate is installed on your site, proceed with the instructions below. If a manual certificate is installed, please contact our Support Team for further assistance before proceeding. To learn how to install an SSL certificate from GoDaddy on a Wix manual site, click here.
Godaddy Transfer Domain
Domain transfer is the process of transferring a domain name from one registrar to another. Registrars are companies that manage the reservation of Internet domain names.
A domain owner can choose to transfer their domain name for a variety of reasons, such as seeking out a registrar with lower prices or better customer service.
The first step in transferring a domain is to unlock it at the current registrar. Then, the desired new registrar must be contacted in order to initiate the transfer process. The new registrar will then send an authorization code to the email associated with the domain owner’s account.
Once this code is obtained, it must be entered by the current registrar, which will finalize the transfer and complete ownership changes. It’s important to note that domains can only be transferred between Registrar accounts that use different email addresses.
Additionally, most transfers require a fee paid to the new Registrar; however, some Registrars may waive this fee if certain conditions are met (such as signing up for a longer term).
Is It Free to Transfer Domain to Wix?
It is free to change your domain name registrar to Wix, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you will need to unlock your domain name at your current registrar. Then, you will need to obtain an authorization code from them.

Once you have these two items, you can begin the process of transferring your domain name to Wix. The entire process should take about 5-7 days.
Can I Transfer My Godaddy Domain to Another Host?
Yes, you can absolutely transfer your GoDaddy domain to another host! In fact, transferring your domain is a pretty simple process. Here are the basic steps:
- Unlock your domain at GoDaddy.com. This can be done from your account manager under the “domains” tab.
- Get an authorization code from GoDaddy. You’ll need this code in order to complete the transfer process with your new host.
- Change the DNS (domain name server) settings for your domain to point to the new host’s servers. This will ensure that visitors will be directed to your new site once the transfer is complete. Your old host should be able to provide you with the necessary DNS information.
- Initiate the transfer process with your new host, and enter the authorization code when prompted.
Can I Bring My Own Domain to Wix?
Yes, you can bring your own domain to Wix! If you have already registered a domain elsewhere, you can connect it to your Wix site. If you don’t have a domain yet, you can purchase one directly from Wix.
Once you’ve set up your new domain, just follow these simple steps:
- Log in to your Wix account and go to the Domains page.
- Enter your new domain in the box under “Connect Domain.”
- Click Continue.
- Select which site you want to connect this domain to and click Save & Continue.
- On the next page, select DNS (Domain Name System) as your connection method and click Continue
- Enter the custom DNS records provided by Wix into your registrar’s DNS manager (these will be different for each registrar).
- Click Verify Connection on the next screen and wait a few minutes for propagation (this is when changes made to DNS settings take effect across the internet).
- That’s it!
Last Thoughts
The process to transfer your domain name from GoDaddy to Wix is quite simple and only takes a few minutes to complete. Once you have initiated the transfer, it can take up to 10 days for the DNS changes to propagate across the internet.
If you aren’t able to wait that long, you can always just point your domain’s DNS records to your Wix site manually. Doing so will give you the same end result as transferring your domain name.
