This video explains how to connect a domain to a Wix site without subscribing to a Wix premium plan. For users who wish to link a custom domain to their Wix website without paying for a full Wix plan, this method provides a straightforward workaround.
The video starts by directing users to open the Wix application or website and go to their dashboard. On the homepage, you should see options related to domain management, including a “Connect” button. If this button isn’t visible, you can also navigate to the “Setup” section to find the domain connection options.
To connect a domain without upgrading to a premium plan, make sure you have a domain registered with an external provider, such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Squarespace. Here’s a summary of how to proceed:
First, if you haven’t already purchased a domain, you can search for and buy one through Wix or an external provider. After securing your domain, return to the Wix dashboard to initiate the connection process. Select the “Let’s Go” option to check the domain’s availability or to start the connection if it’s already registered under your name.
To connect an existing domain without a premium plan, you’ll need to adjust your domain’s DNS settings. Access your domain provider’s dashboard (such as GoDaddy or Namecheap), find the DNS settings, and input Wix’s name server or DNS addresses provided in the Wix setup area. This change directs your domain to point to your Wix website, completing the connection.
Though this method bypasses the need for a full Wix subscription, it’s important to note that a free Wix plan may have limitations, including Wix branding and ads on your site.
