When you transfer your domain to Wix from another registrar, Wix becomes your domain host. This means that you can manage all of the following from your Wix account:
- Your domain's registration and renewal payments.
- Your domain's contact information.
- Your domain's DNS records (including connecting your email, pointing your domain to a different IP address, connecting subdomains etc.)

- Check that at least 60 days have passed since your domain was registered or since your contact information was updated. Otherwise, your domain may be locked.
