Step One: Signup for Wix
If you don’t already have a Wix account you can get one by going to wix.com. If you already have an account you can skip this step. Please note, the free version of Wix does not allow domains to be connected and will need to be upgraded.
Step Two: Go to the “connect domain” settings

Step five: Upgrade your Wix account if needed
If you haven’t upgraded to a paid version of Wix, you’ll need to do that before continuing. If you’re already on a paid plan you can skip this step.
Upgrade your Wix account if needed.
Step Six: Choose to connect a domain you already own, again
You may be asked whether you want to buy a domain domain or connect one you already own again. We don’t know why, perhaps they want to make sure you’re really really confident with your decision. At any rate, choose the “connect a domain you already own” option, again.
Connect a domain you already own.
Step Seven: Enter your domain, registrar, and connection method
Enter the domain your connecting into the domain field, select “other” from the “where did you buy your domain” drop down, and then click the “change” link to change your connection method.
Enter domain, choose other, change connection method.
Step Eight: Select the “pointing” method
Wix will give you two options for connecting your domain, DNS and pointing. You will want to choose the pointing method. They will show a scary message but you can ignore it. Quick Connect only supports the pointing method and if you want to use other services like email, etc then you will want to use the pointing method. You can use the DNS method if you understand the difference between the two options but to do so you will need to manually modify the name servers for your domain.
Select the pointing method, ignoring the scary message, and then click the “change method” button.
Step Nine: Click next
You can ignore this screen, we deal with all of this for you. It’s Quick Connect magic!
