Hi everyone,
I’ve done a small mistake by buying a domain on Wix as they don’t allow changing nameservers. How can I go about using my domain on my droplet here using CNAME or A records which they allow to edit?
Or should I rather look into transferring the domain to another registrar? Takes a long time which is not very good.

Hello,
You need to point the A record of your domain name to the IP address of your server/droplet, make sure to do this for the www version of your domain name as well, or just make sure that you have a CNAME for the www record as well.
You can also transfer the domain name to other provider as well. Basically it’s totally up to you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
