you can sell domains and offer your clients the option to use Wix to develop websites for those domains. Here’s how it works:


How to Sell Domains and Enable Wix Usage

  1. Sell Domains as a Registrar or Reseller:

    • Partner with a registrar like CentralNic, Enom, or Hexonet, or use platforms like WHMCS to manage domain sales.
    • Offer domain registration, transfers, and renewal services to your clients.
  2. Provide DNS Management Options:

    • Ensure that clients have access to DNS settings for their domains. This allows them to point their domain to Wix or any other platform.
    • Clients will need to update their domain’s CNAME records or A records to connect the domain to Wix.
  3. Inform Clients About Wix Setup:

    • Wix provides step-by-step guides for connecting a domain, including DNS configuration.
    • Clients can also use Wix’s domain connection wizard during their website setup.
  4. Optional Add-On Services:

    • Offer support for configuring DNS records if clients find it challenging.
    • Provide additional hosting or email services for clients who need more than just Wix website development.

Steps Clients Follow to Use Wix with Their Domains

  1. Choose a Wix Plan:

    • Clients need a Premium Wix Plan to connect a custom domain.
  2. Update DNS Records:

    • Option 1: Update CNAME and A records at your domain control panel to point to Wix’s servers.
    • Option 2: Transfer the domain to Wix, allowing them to manage DNS settings.
  3. Complete the Connection:

    • Wix verifies the DNS settings, and the domain is live with the Wix website.

Advantages of This Approach

  1. Flexibility:

    • Clients can choose between using Wix or other platforms while you maintain domain sales and management.
  2. Customer Satisfaction:

    • Offering Wix as an option appeals to clients looking for an easy-to-use website builder.
  3. Additional Revenue Streams:

    • You can upsell services like DNS management, email hosting, or premium support.

Tools and Platforms to Facilitate This Setup

  • WHMCS + Reseller Hosting: Manage domain sales and DNS configurations easily.
  • Hexonet API: Automate domain sales and management.
  • CentralNic's Platform: Integrates domain management with reselling capabilities.
