Connect Multiple Domains to One Wix Site
TL;DR:
- Link multiple domains to your Wix website through the Domains section in your dashboard
- Set one domain as primary – all others will automatically redirect to it
- Useful for managing different brand names or regional URL variations
- Proper domain management improves user experience and SEO performance
- Use 301 redirects to maintain SEO strength across all your domains
Wix lets you connect several domains to a single website, which keeps your online presence tidy while giving you flexibility. This is handy if you own multiple brand names or operate in different regions.
Here's how to set it up:
Access your dashboard and find the Domains section
Log into your Wix dashboard and navigate to the 'Domains' area. This is where you'll manage all your domain connections.
Connect your first domain
Click 'Connect a Domain' and follow the prompts. If this is your main business domain, you'll want to set this as your primary domain.
Set your primary domain
Choose which domain will be your primary address. This is what visitors will see in their browser and what represents your main brand identity. Get this right from the start.
Add additional domains
Connect any other domains you own. These will automatically redirect visitors to your primary domain, so people always end up in the right place regardless of which URL they use.
Why connect multiple domains
Having multiple domains pointing to one site serves several purposes. It protects your brand by preventing competitors from registering similar domain names. It also helps if you've rebranded but want to keep your old domain working.
From an SEO perspective, redirecting multiple domains to your primary site consolidates your search ranking signals. Instead of diluting your authority across multiple sites, you're concentrating everything on your main domain.
Technical considerations
Wix handles the redirects automatically, but they use 301 redirects, which is exactly what you want for SEO. This tells search engines that the redirect is permanent and passes most of the SEO value from the redirected domain to your primary domain.
Make sure your primary domain is set correctly before you start adding others. Changing your primary domain later can cause temporary SEO issues while search engines adjust to the change.
FAQs
How many domains can I connect to one Wix site?
There's no hard limit, but keep it practical. Most businesses need 2-3 domains maximum. More than that becomes difficult to manage and may confuse your marketing efforts.
Can I change which domain is the primary one?
Yes, you can update your primary domain in the Domains section of your dashboard. Just be aware this might temporarily affect your search rankings while everything adjusts.
Do additional domains cost extra?
You'll need to pay for each domain registration separately, but connecting them to your Wix site doesn't typically cost extra. Check your current plan details to be sure.
Will my additional domains show up in search results?
No, search engines will typically only index your primary domain since the others redirect to it. This is actually what you want for SEO purposes.
Jargon Buster
Domain – Your website's address on the internet, like www.yourbusiness.com
Primary domain – The main domain that visitors see and that search engines index
301 redirect – A permanent redirect that tells browsers and search engines that a page has moved permanently to a new location
Dashboard – Wix's control panel where you manage your website settings and features
Wrap-up
Connecting multiple domains to your Wix site is straightforward and gives you better control over your online presence. Set your main business domain as primary, then add any additional domains you want to redirect to it. This protects your brand, improves user experience, and keeps your SEO efforts focused on one main site.
The setup only takes a few minutes, but the benefits last as long as you own the domains. It's worth doing even if you only have one additional domain to redirect.
