Connect your DNS records at Wix to Microsoft 365

  • Article

Check the Domains FAQ if you don't find what you're looking for.

If Wix is your DNS hosting provider, follow the steps in this article to verify your domain and set up DNS records for email, Skype for Business Online, and so on.

After you add these records at Wix, your domain will be set up to work with Microsoft services.

Note

Typically it takes about 15 minutes for DNS changes to take effect. However, it can occasionally take longer for a change you've made to update across the Internet's DNS system. If you're having trouble with mail flow or other issues after adding DNS records, see Troubleshoot issues after changing your domain name or DNS records.

Add a TXT record for verification

Before you use your domain with Microsoft, we have to make sure you own it. Your ability to log in to your account at your domain registrar and create the DNS record proves to Microsoft that you own the domain.

Note

This record is used only to verify that you own your domain; it doesn't affect anything else. You can delete it later if you like.

Note

WIX does not support DNS entries for subdomains.

  1. To get started, go to your domains page at Wix by using this link. You're prompted to log in first.

  2. Select Domains > ..., and then select Manage DNS Records from the dropdown list.

    Select Manage DNS Records from the drop-down list.

  3. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row of the DNS editor.

  4. In the boxes for the new record, type or copy and paste the values from the following table.

    Host Name TXT Value TTL
    Automatically populated (leave blank) MS=msXXXXXXXX
    Note: This is an example. Use your specific Destination or Points to Address value here, from the table. How do I find this?    		 One Hour

  5. SelectSave.

    Wait a few minutes before you continue, so that the record you created can update across the Internet.

Now that you added the record at your domain registrar's site, go back to Microsoft and request the record. When Microsoft finds the correct TXT record, your domain is verified.

To verify the record in Microsoft 365:

  1. In the admin center, go to the Settings > Domains.

  2. On the Domains page, select the domain that you're verifying, and select Start setup.

    Select Start setup.

  3. Select Continue.

  4. On the Verify domain page, select Verify.

Add a TXT record for SPF to help prevent email spam

Important

You cannot have more than one TXT record for SPF for a domain. If your domain has more than one SPF record, you'll get email errors, as well as delivery and spam classification issues. If you already have an SPF record for your domain, don't create a new one for Microsoft. Instead, add the required Microsoft values to the current record so that you have a single SPF record that includes both sets of values.

  1. To get started, go to your domains page at Wix by using this link. You're prompted to log in first.

  2. Select Domains > ..., and then select Manage DNS Records from the dropdown list.

    Select Manage DNS Records from the drop-down list.

  3. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row of the DNS editor.

    Note: Wix provides an SPF row in the DNS editor. Ignore that row and use the TXT (Text) row to enter the SPF values below.

  4. In the boxes for the new record, type or copy and paste the values from the following table:

    Host Name Value TTL
    [leave this blank] v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
    Note: We recommend copying and pasting this entry, so that all of the spacing stays correct.    		 One Hour

  5. Select Save.
