# About the Domains APIs

Wix provides multiple domain management tools that allow Wix users to register, connect, and manage domain settings for their sites. These APIs allow you to search for available domains, connect external domains to Wix, and configure DNS settings.

With the Domains APIs you can:

- [Search for and check the availability](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/account-level/domains/domain-search/introduction.md) of domain names.
- [Connect externally registered domains](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/account-level/domains/connected-domains/introduction.md) to a Wix site via nameservers or pointing.
- [Manage DNS zones](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/account-level/domains/domain-dns/introduction.md) for domains connected by nameservers.

## Terminology
