Step 4: purchase the plan that works best for you

Inform the Wix support bot that you need to obtain your DNS records and request to speak with a human representative. The expected call duration is about 5 minutes, during which a support team member will provide you with your necessary "CNAME" and "A" records to properly configure your domain.


Step 11: Update your 3DNS records

Update your 3DNS records with the "CNAME" and "A" records provided by the Wix customer care team. This step is crucial for ensuring that your 3DNS domain correctly points to your Wix site, enabling it to resolve properly and be accessible online. Make sure to enter the details accurately in your 3DNS management settings.


Step 12: Wait for your Domain to be fully connected

After updating your DNS records, allow some time for your domain to be fully connected. This process can take up to 48 hours as DNS changes propagate throughout the internet. Monitor the status in your Wix account, and once the domain is fully connected, your site will be live and accessible via your 3DNS domain.

Your Wix page is now fully integrated with your 3DNS domain. You can enjoy the full benefits of your Wix site, now accessible through your customized 3DNS domain, leveraging both platforms' features to maximize your online presence.
