Connecting Your GoDaddy Domain to Wix via Pointing

Connect your GoDaddy domain to Wix by updating your DNS records in GoDaddy. 
Note that when connected via pointing, Wix is unable to help you manage your DNS because the records are hosted at GoDaddy. You'll need to contact GoDaddy if you need help with your DNS.
Alternatively, you can connect your domain via name servers to manage your DNS records in your Wix account. Learn more about the differences between connection methods. 
Before you begin:
In order to connect your GoDaddy domain to Wix via pointing, make sure you have:
  1. Upgraded your site with a plan
  2. Added your domain to your Wix account

To connect your GoDaddy domain via pointing:

  1. Sign in to your GoDaddy account.
  2. Click the user profile icon at the top right and select My Products.

  2. Update the A record that has @ in the Name column.
5.  Update the CNAME record that has www in the Name column. 
Note:
It may take up to 48 hours for the DNS changes to propagate (become live) worldwide. Learn more about domain propagation.
