Looking for some help with setting up my Wix Domain to point to my droplet.
Currently I have setup Wordpress on my droplet, and added my domain on DigitalOcean with “A” record, and “CNAME” configured, setup for DigitalOcean is as follows
My A record is as follows: “my_domain_name.com directs to my_droplet_ip”
My CNAME record is as follows: “www.my_domain_name.com is an alias of my_domain_name.com”
On my Wix Dashboard I have my “A” record set as:
“my_domain_name.com — droplet_ip_address”
When I Google my domain name I am given this error:
**“This site can’t be reached my_domain_name.com’s server IP address could not be found. Try running Windows Network Diagnostics. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN” **
Any sort of issue why this is happening. If I go to my droplets IP address I am greeted with a “non” rendered version of some Wordpress page.
Wix does not allow changing nameservers for w/e reason, and I have tried about everything I can think of… Please help :)
Thanks

Hi there @StoneMn,
It seems you did not change the nameservers in your Wix account. Could you look into the following answer - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/i-have-a-domain-registered-with-wix-which-i-want-to-point-at-one-of-my-droplets-what-do-i-need-to-change-and-where
You should be able to change the nameservers as stated in the answer I posted.
Let me know if that helps.
Best, Dennis
