 Prerequisites  

Before we start, ensure:  

– You have an active domain registered on Modewebhost.

Step 1: Get Your Wix DNS Records

2. Go to Settings > Domains.  
3. If you haven’t added a domain yet, click Connect a Domain and choose Connect a domain you already own.  
4. Wix will provide two DNS records:  

   – Nameservers: ns1.wixdns.net and ns2.wixdns.net  

   – Alternatively, Wix may provide A Records and CNAME records if you prefer manual setup.  

 Step 2: Access Your Domain Settings in Modewebhost

Option 1: Change Nameservers

2. Replace the current nameservers with Wix’s:  

   – ns1.wixdns.net  

   – ns2.wixdns.net  

3. Save changes.  

 

This method allows Wix to manage your domain entirely.  

 

Option 2: Update DNS Records  

If you prefer to keep your domain’s email hosting or other settings on Modewebhost, use this approach:  

1. In your domain’s DNS Management or Zone Editor, update the following:  

   – A Record: Point your domain to Wix’s IP address (provided in your Wix dashboard).  

   – CNAME Record: Add Wix’s CNAME for “www” to direct it to your Wix site.  

2. Save changes.  

 

Step 4: Verify Your Domain on Wix  

 

1. Return to Wix and click Verify Connection.  
2. Wix may take up to 48 hours to recognize the updated DNS settings. During this time, your website may be temporarily inaccessible.
