In order to create your own domain, the first thing you will need to do is go to the ‘site’ button and exit the editor. Once you are in the dashboard, there is a button that says ‘upgrade now’ and this is where you are going to get your own domain.
The upgrade part is about upgrading your website to a premium plan and this means that you will need to choose between one of the different plans or options that are given to you there; in our case, we are going to choose the basic plan. After choosing the plan that you want, you will move forward to the part of choosing the subscription for this plan and how you want it to be; yearly or monthly.
After you are done with the plan and the subscription that you have finally chosen, you will be directed to the payment page where you will be asked to enter all your personal details as well as your payment details to receive the service that you want. Once you are done with writing down all your personal and payment details, you will click on the ‘select button’ to move forward to the next step.
Now your website should be premium and you should go back to the point of adding your own personal domain. When it comes to the domain, there are two different options found out there which you will need to choose from: the first one is about buying a domain and searching for one if you don’t have, and the second is connecting the domain if you already have one.
We already have our domain so we are simply going to connect it. Simply, you are going to start with inputting your domain name and give the site the chance to find it. Usually, the site will be able to find out where did your domain name come from and if the guess was wrong, you could simply click ‘no’. In our case, the guess was correct and we actually got our domain from ‘GoDaddy’.
In this case, you will need to go to the website where your domain is actually found and you will need to sign in before coming back once again to Wix website. Once you are logged in in GoDaddy, you will click on ‘DNS’ and once you are in the DNS management, you will scroll down to the place where ‘Nameservers’ is written, you will select ‘custom’ then you will go back to the dashboard and copy the name servers and past them in the empty fields found under the ‘custom’ that you have chosen, after all you will click on save.
Now your name servers should be on Wix and that’s when you will need to build the connection through clicking on ‘verify connection’. Let Wix take its time in verifying your connection, also know that it might take up to 48 hours for your website to be visible worldwide, so don’t worry if it didn’t work out immediately with you – an email will be sent to you when your website is live.
Getting to build your website on Wix is not difficult, you might find yourself getting lost at the beginning of the way, but you will eventually find your way and know the steps which you will need to take in order to do whatever you please to the website that you are creating.
