DNS provider guide
Wix: add the client portal records
How to publish the two DNS records for your client portal address at Wix. Each record below is written the way Wix asks for it.
Before you start
Name servers at Wix usually look like ns1.wixdns.net. If yours look different, your DNS is run elsewhere: see how to find your DNS host in the full guide.
- You can manage the records in Wix only if the domain is connected to Wix through the Wix name servers. If it is connected by pointing, add the records at your domain host instead.
Where Wix shows the name servers
Wix shows the name servers to use when you connect the domain. To see the ones in use now, run the lookup described in the main guide.
Fill in your own values
Enter the address you added in Atlas, and paste the TXT value Atlas shows for it. Every record on this page and on the provider guides then shows your exact values. What you enter stays in this browser.
For example portal.yourfirm.com, without https:// in front of it.
Copy it from the card of your address in Atlas. It starts with atlas-portal-verification=
Your domain is read as yourfirm.com. If your DNS provider shows a different domain at the end of the name field, enter only the part of the name before that domain.
