About the Domain Connections API

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.

Before you begin

• You can only connect domains to a Wix site with an active Premium plan 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.
• TLD: 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.
