Activating DNSSEC for a Wix Domain

3 min read
When you purchase a domain from Wix, you can add Private registration and DNSSEC for an additional fee. DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is available in all non-EU countries, and for all .com domains.
Private registration ensures that your name and contact information aren't publicly visible in the WHOIS directory. DNSSEC helps to protect your site from cyberattacks by adding a security seal to your domain, securing your site visitors' private information.
Private registration and DNSSEC are available when purchasing your domain, or when you manually extend its registration for at least one year.
