How to connect my existing domain by updating DNS records?

When connecting a domain without changing nameservers, you do it by editing DNS records.

In most cases DNS record include:

  • A record → points your root domain (yourdomain.com) to Noiseyard’s server IP.

  • CNAME record → points your www subdomain (www.yourdomain.com) to your root domain


Follow these steps to connect your domain:

  1. Log in to your domain registrar’s dashboard (e.g., Wix, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).

  2. Go to the DNS Management or Manage DNS Records section for your domain.

  3. Update your CNAME records:

    • Host Name: www

    • Value: yourdomain.com

    • Make sure there are no A or AAAA records for www

  4. Update your A record:

    • Host Name: leave blank or write "@" depending on your registrar

    • Type: A

    • Value: 159.203.148.118

  5. Save your changes.

Please note that:

  • Do not delete your MX or TXT records. Those handle email and domain verification.

  • DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to fully propagate worldwide.

  • You can track progress at whatsmydns.net by checking:

    • A record for yourdomain.com → should show 159.203.148.118

    • CNAME record for www.yourdomain.com → should show yourdomain.com

  • Once DNS resolves, SSL will be issued automatically on our side and your site will load over HTTPS.

  • For Wix’s own step-by-step guide, see: Connecting a Wix domain to an external site.
