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.

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.
