Objective

You are the holder of a domain name with OVHcloud and you want to connect it to a Wix hosting plan. In this guide, you will find the steps to prepare and configure your OVHcloud DNS zone, so that you can configure your Wix hosting plan.

Find out how to connect your OVHcloud domain name to a Wix hosting plan.

  • Wix Support does not have access to your OVHcloud domain name settings and therefore cannot advise you on the information you will need to provide.

  • OVHcloud provides services which you are responsible for with regard to their configuration and management. You are therefore responsible for ensuring they function correctly.

    We have provided you with this guide in order to help you with common tasks. Nevertheless, we recommend contacting a specialist provider and/or the service’s publisher if you encounter any difficulties. We will not be able to assist you ourselves. You can find more information in the Go further section of this guide.

Requirements

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

  • Direct link: Domain names
  • Navigation path: Web Cloud > Domain names > Select your domain name

Instructions

Before following the two steps in this guide, we recommend that you get familiar with configuring a DNS zone using our guide on Editing an OVHcloud DNS zone.

Your DNS zone is potentially already preconfigured or linked to a hosting plan. We will look at how to identify each DNS record required to connect to your Wix hosting plan. Some records will need to be deleted to avoid conflicts with DNS records required in this configuration. Others will simply need to be modified or created. For a better understanding, we will use the domain name "mydomain.ovh" as an example. Replace it with your domain name during configuration.

1. Configure your Wix hosting plan

When using a Wix hosting plan with an OVHcloud domain name, you must first prepare your hosting plan by following the instructions in step 1 from this page of the Wix documentation.

2. Configure your DNS records on your OVHcloud account

Before you continue:

  • Open a tab in your web browser.
  • Open this page of the Wix documentation.
  • Go to the "Step 2 section | Update the DNS records in your domain hosting provider’s account" in the Wix documentation.
    The following instructions will help you configure your OVHcloud DNS zone more easily.

Log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel in the Web Cloud section. Click Domain names, then choose the domain name concerned. Go to the DNS Zone tab.

The table lists all of the DNS records for the selected domain name.

Each DNS record can be modified by clicking on the ... button to the right of the table row concerned, then clicking on Modify record.

Follow the steps in order by browsing the following tabs:

  • Step 1
  • Step 2
  • Step 3
  • Step 4

"A" Record

To identify existing "A" records, click the filter menu at the top of the DNS records table and select A.

  • Click the ... button in the table row that corresponds to your domain name (e.g. mydomain.ovh.) without a subdomain, then click Edit record.
  • If a record for the subdomain "www" is present (e.g.: www.mydomain.ovh.), delete it so that it does not conflict with the CNAME record you enter in step 4. Click on the ... button in the table row for your domain name with the subdomain "www", then click Delete record.
  • If you do not have an existing "A" record, click the Add Entry button in the top right of your screen and select A

    Leave the Subdomain field blank and enter the IPv4 address shown in your Wix interface into the Target field. Click Next, confirm your A record, and go to step 2.

AAAA record

To identify the existing "AAAA" records, click on the filter menu at the top of the DNS records table and select AAAA.
dnszone

  • If there are "AAAA" records for the domain name (e.g. mydomain.ovh.) and for its subdomain "www." (e.g. www.mydomain.ovh.), you will need to delete them so that they do not conflict with the "A" and "CNAME" records that you will enter in step 4. Click on the ... button in the table row corresponding to your domain name and the "www." subdomain, then click Delete record.

TXT record

To identify existing "TXT" records, click the filter menu at the top of the DNS records table and select TXT.
dnszone

  • If "TXT" records are present for the domain name (e.g. mydomain.ovh.) and for its subdomain "www" (e.g. www.mydomain.ovh.), you must delete them so that they do not conflict with the CNAME record that you enter in step 4. Click on the ... button in the table row for your domain name with the subdomain "www", then click Delete record.

CNAME record

To identify existing CNAME records, click on the filter menu at the top of the DNS records table and select CNAME.
dnszone

  • Click on the ... button to the right of the table row corresponding to the subdomain "www" (example: mydomain.ovh.) then click Edit record.
  • If you do not have an existing CNAME record, click the Add record button in the top right-hand corner of your screen and select CNAME. Fill in the Sub-domain field with the value www, and enter the value from your Wix interface into the Target field.
    Click Next, then confirm your CNAME record.

The DNS zone is now configured to link to a Wix hosting plan.

It may take up to 48 hours to verify your domain name.

If you are using an OVHcloud email solution, or planning to subscribe to one of our email solutions, you will also need to prepare your DNS zone accordingly. Read our guide on configuring an MX record.
