# About the Domain Connections API

<blockquote class='warning'>

__Deprecation Notice:__

Domain Connections has been replaced with
[Connected Domains](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/api-reference/account-level-ap-is/connected-domains/introduction)
and will be removed on December 31, 2023.

</blockquote>

With the Domain Connections API you can connect a root domain or subdomain to a Wix
site. You can only connect external domains.

The domain can be assigned as a primary domain or a redirect. You can read more
about [primary and redirected domains](https://support.wix.com/en/article/switching-your-primary-and-redirected-domains).

## Before you begin

+ You can only connect domains to a Wix site with an active [Premium plan](https://support.wix.com/en/article/upgrading-your-site-to-premium-3066683) that supports domains with the relevant TLD.
+ The `dnsRecords` array doesn't include the default nameserver record. Instead, the default nameserver is stored in a separate read-only `nsRecord` object.
+ Wix doesn't manage the DNS records for domains connected by pointing.

## Terminology

+ __Wix Domain__: A domain owned by Wix and billed through Wix.
+ __External Domain__: A domain owned by an external provider, not Wix.
+ __DNS__: The Domain Name System helps users identify computers connected to the internet.
+ __Nameserver__: A server component of the DNS that stores human-readable domain names.
+ __Pointing__: A connection type for cases where the DNS is hosted outside of Wix. Read more about [connecting a domain to Wix by pointing](https://support.wix.com/en/article/connecting-a-domain-to-wix-using-the-pointing-method).
+ __TLD__: [Top-level domain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain). For example, `com`, `net`, or `org`.
+ __Root domain__: Highest hierarchy level of the DNS. 
  Consists of the domain name and TLD. For example, `my-example-domain.com`.
+ __Subdomain__: Lower hierarchy level of the DNS. For example, `support.my-example-domain.com`.

You must pass the relevant Wix account ID in the header of the call.
You may also pass a Wix site ID in the header. If you omit the site ID, you

You can't pass the default nameserver record in the `dnsRecords` array of
the call's body. This results in an error.

You can only connect external domains using this endpoint. Domains purchased
and billed through Wix can't be connected in this way to a Wix site.

The domain can be assigned as a primary domain or a redirect.
You can read more about [primary and redirected domains](https://support.wix.com/en/article/switching-your-primary-and-redirected-domains).
