<strong>Note: </strong>Your A and CNAME records are essential for keeping your domain connected to your site. </li>  <li><strong>MX records:</strong> Mail Exchange (MX) records control which mail server your domain uses to receive email, and ensures that you receive emails properly.</li>  <li><strong>TXT records: </strong>TXT (text) records are used to provide textual information about a domain (like the name of the host and contact details) to external sources. They are also used to provide information to the SPF email authentication system.</li>  <li><strong>SPF records: </strong>Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email validation system designed to prevent email spam by verifying sender IP addresses. SPF records specify which hosts are allowed to send mail from a given domain.</li>  <li><strong>SRV records: </strong>Also known as service records, these are responsible for localizing specific domain-related services such as FTP, HTTP, and SIP.</li>  <li><strong>NS records:</strong> Define which name servers contain the DNS records for a domain.</li></ul></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I update the NS records for a Wix domain?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>It is not possible to update the name server (NS) records for a Wix domain.

Subdomains Overview

<div data-component-type="text"><div>A subdomain is an extension of your primary <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/about-domains" target="">domain name</a>. It is added in front of your root domain to form a separate web address. Subdomains are usually used to bring visitors to a specific page or section of your website. It is still part of the main website, but it may be considered a separate site by search engines. </div></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>For example, the address for a blog subdomain might look like this: <strong>blog</strong>.example.com.</div></div><div data-component-type="image"><div class="img-container" style="text-align:center"><img src="https://d2x3xhvgiqkx42.cloudfront.net/12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab/8bfd4238-b80c-4a51-9f46-b907c2acff01/2023/03/03/edd7f06e-72ec-4285-a4ac-f3c126b26871/c12cde64-8193-4f15-83ec-15f16468284c.png" alt="Image showing the parts of a URL, to illustrate how a subdomain is represented in a URL." /></div></div><div data-component-type="line"><hr line-style="thin" /></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="benefits-of-subdomains" level="3">Benefits of Subdomains</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Some benefits of using subdomains include:</div></div><div data-component-type="text"><ul>
  <li><strong>Organization:</strong> Subdomains can help to separate different sections of a website, making it easier for visitors to find the content they're looking for. For example, you might use one subdomain for an online store, and another one for your blog.</li>  <li><strong>Branding:</strong> Subdomains are useful for creating webpages with different identities, while still being related to your main website. For example, an online store can differentiate between its physical and online stores, or a news website can use a different subdomain for each section of the site. </li>  <li><strong>Search results:</strong> Subdomains can help to improve a website's SEO, with each subdomain appearing separately to the main site in search results. This can help increase the website's visibility, driving more traffic to the site. </li></ul></div><div data-component-type="line"><hr line-style="thin" /></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="ways-of-setting-up-subdomains-in-your-wix-account" level="3">Ways of Setting up Subdomains in Your Wix Account</h2></div><div data-component-type="table"><div class="table-wrapper"><table><thead><tr><th><div><strong>Method of Primary (Root) Domain Connection</strong></div></th><th><div>Subdomain Destination</div></th><th><div>Action Required</div></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><div>A Wix domain, or a domain connected to Wix via name servers</div></td><td><div>An external (non-Wix) website, resource, or blog. <br />
