Connect Both Domains in Wix
Use this if both domains are owned by your client and you have access to manage them.

  1. Primary Domain Setup:
    ◦ Connect the main domain to the Wix site (if not already connected).
  2. Add the Second Domain:
    ◦ Go to Wix Dashboard > Settings > Domains.
    ◦ Click “+ Add an Existing Domain”.
    ◦ Follow the prompts to connect the second domain.
    ◦ After it’s connected, choose to redirect it to the primary domain so that both domains bring up the same site (and to avoid SEO issues from duplicate content).
  3. DNS Setup:
    ◦ Wix will provide nameservers or A/CNAME records to add at your domain registrar.
    ◦ Update the DNS for both domains as instructed by Wix.
  4. Set Primary Domain:
    ◦ In Wix > Domains, choose which domain is the primary (the one shown in the browser URL).
    ◦ The secondary domain will redirect to it automatically.

🚫
Avoid Just DNS Forwarding at the Registrar
If you simply forward Domain B to Domain A using DNS or registrar-level forwarding, you’ll:
• Lose SEO benefits for the second domain.
• Possibly break email or SSL.
• Miss out on Wix’s automatic redirect and SSL setup.
🔧 Final Tip
If one domain is not managed in Wix yet, transfer or connect it as a “redirecting” domain through Wix’s domain management so that Wix handles it all — including HTTPS and redirects.
