# How to connect your domain to Wix

| **Objective** | Connect your AEserver domain to a Wix website using DNS records while keeping the domain registered at AEserver. |
| --- | --- |
| **Why customers use this** | Keeps your domain at AEserver while building your site on Wix; Lets you keep control of renewals and registrar-level settings |
| **Records to expect** | Usually A and CNAME records shown inside Wix; some setups may also include TXT verification records. |

Before you start

Have access to both your AEserver Client Area and your account at Wix.

Know whether you are connecting the root domain (example.com), a subdomain (such as www.example.com or shop.example.com), or both.

Take a quick screenshot or copy of any current DNS records before editing them, especially if the domain already has a live website or email service.

Step 1 - Get the DNS records from Wix

**1.**Log in to your Wix account and open the website you want to use.

**2.**Go to Domains or Settings > Domains, then choose Connect a domain you already own.

**3.**Enter your full domain name and choose the manual/DNS connection option if Wix asks.

**4.**Copy the exact DNS records Wix shows you. In most cases this includes one or more A records for the root domain and a CNAME record for www.

Step 2 - Add the records in the AEserver Client Area

**1.**Sign in to your AEserver Client Area.

**2.**Open Domains and click the domain name you want to connect.

**3.**Open DNS Management, DNS Zone, or Manage DNS. If you do not see this option, first confirm the domain is using AEserver-supported nameservers and that DNS management is active for the service.

**4.**Add the records exactly as provided by Wix. If conflicting A or CNAME records already exist for the same host, edit or remove the old ones first.

**5.**Save the changes and wait a few minutes before testing again in Wix.

Step 3 - Verify and finish

**1.**Return to Wix and click Verify Connection or the equivalent confirmation button.

**2.**Allow time for DNS propagation. Many changes appear within a few minutes or hours, but full propagation can take up to 24-48 hours.

**3.**Once the service shows as connected, test the live result. Open the website, send a test email, or visit the exact subdomain you connected.

**Quick tips**

Always copy the records from Wix instead of retyping them manually

Use @ for the root domain only if the AEserver DNS screen uses @; some panels leave the root blank

Do not create two different CNAME records for the same host such as www

**Common issues and tips to solve them**

| **Common problem** | **What it usually means / what to do** |
| --- | --- |
| Wix cannot verify the domain | Wait for DNS propagation, then re-check for typos or duplicate records |
| Old website still appears | Clear browser cache or test from another network while DNS updates spread |
| Email stops working after changes | Check that you only changed website records and did not delete MX records used for email |

*If you are not sure which record to edit, or if the domain already has a working website or email service, contact AEserver Support before making changes so we can help you avoid downtime.*
