Connecting a Subdomain to Your Wix Site
3 min read
Use subdomains to group your webpages under one main, recognizable domain. You can set any Wix site in your account as a subdomain of another site you own, whether it's on Wix or a different platform.
For instance, if you have a separate Wix site for your blog, you can create a subdomain for it at "blog.example.com" – "example.com" is your main domain, and "blog" is the subdomain you chose.

Before you begin:
You must upgrade your site to a Premium plan in order to connect a subdomain.
Connecting a subdomain to your Wix site
First, decide which Wix site in your account you want to repackage as a subdomain. Then, enter the new URL you want to assign to this site.
The URL you enter is based on:
- The subdomain of your choice (e.g. blog.mywebsite.com)
- The main domain you want to link to (e.g. blog.mywebsite.com) – this is the domain you already own.

To connect a subdomain to your Wix site:
- Go to Domains in your Wix account.
- Click Add an Existing Domain.
- Select Connect a domain you already own.
- Select the site you want to repackage as a subdomain.
- Click Next.
- Enter the new subdomain URL for the site you chose (e.g. "blog.mysite6.com").
Tip: The URL should be a combination of your main domain (e.g. "mysite6.com") and a subdomain of your choice (e.g. "blog.") - Click Let's Go.
- Follow the steps, according to your main domain connection type:
- If the main domain is a Wix domain / connected by name servers: No action is needed. The subdomain will be in the same Wix account and any DNS records are automatically added.
- If the domain is connected by pointing / not connected to Wix: Follow the on-screen instructions to add CNAME details at the domain host.
Note: Be sure to add both sets of CNAME records to your DNS records.
Note:
It may take up to 48 hours for your subdomain to be visible worldwide. We’ll send you an email when your subdomain connection is live. Learn more about domain propagation.
