Wix to GoHighLevel Migration Guide

If you are moving from Wix to GoHighLevel, this step-by-step guide will help you migrate smoothly while keeping your current workflows, DNS, and funnels organized. Many agencies also use tools like ClickUp to track tasks during the website migration process, which can further streamline your move.

This article is based on the official Wix to HighLevel migration guide and walks you through the key decisions, DNS settings, and best practices to avoid downtime.

Before You Start: Understand Wix and GoHighLevel Roles

Wix is an all-in-one platform that typically manages your website builder, hosting, and sometimes the domain. GoHighLevel is a CRM and funnel platform where you can build sites, funnels, and automations, but it relies on DNS and domains managed through registrars or providers such as Cloudflare.

When you migrate, your main tasks are:

  • Decide where your domain will be managed
  • Configure DNS records correctly
  • Point the site and funnel to GoHighLevel
  • Avoid unnecessary changes to successful existing setups

Core Concepts for GoHighLevel Domain Migration

Before changing records, make sure you understand how your current domain is configured in Wix and how that impacts GoHighLevel:

  • DNS Provider: Where your DNS zone is hosted (Wix, Cloudflare, or another registrar).
  • Nameservers: Determine which DNS provider is authoritative.
  • CNAME and A Records: The specific entries you will adjust to point to GoHighLevel.

Knowing this information prevents misconfigurations that can take your site offline.

Option 1: Keep DNS in Wix and Connect to GoHighLevel

Many users prefer to keep their DNS inside Wix and simply connect their funnel or website to GoHighLevel. This is the simplest method if Wix is already handling your DNS.

Step 1: Verify Wix as Your DNS Provider

  1. Log in to your Wix account.
  2. Go to your domain settings.
  3. Check if the nameservers are set to Wix default nameservers.

If Wix nameservers are active, that means Wix currently manages your DNS records.

Step 2: Add the GoHighLevel CNAME in Wix

With Wix managing DNS, you can connect your new site or funnel to GoHighLevel by adding a CNAME record:

  1. In Wix, open Domains > Advanced > DNS.
  2. Locate the section for CNAME (Aliases).
  3. Create a new CNAME for the subdomain you want to use (for example, www or offers).
  4. Point this CNAME to the hostname provided by GoHighLevel in your domain setup screen.
  5. Save your DNS changes.

Once the record propagates, you can assign that domain or subdomain inside your GoHighLevel account to your funnel or website.

Step 3: Assign the Domain Inside GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Go to Sites or Funnels depending on your build.
  3. Open the site or funnel you want to publish.
  4. Click on Settings and then choose Domain.
  5. Enter the same subdomain you configured in Wix (for example, www.yourdomain.com).
  6. Save and wait for verification to succeed.

If DNS is correct, GoHighLevel will confirm the connection and your funnel or website will be live on that domain or subdomain.

Option 2: Move DNS from Wix to Another Provider for GoHighLevel

Some users want to move DNS away from Wix to a different provider such as Cloudflare or their domain registrar. Do this only if you understand DNS and have a specific reason, like centralizing all domains outside of Wix.

The official guide strongly advises not to change what already works unless there is a clear technical or business reason. If Wix DNS and your link structure are stable, connecting directly to GoHighLevel, as described above, is usually safer.

Step 1: Export Current Wix DNS Settings

Before changing nameservers, record all current DNS settings:

  • Log in to Wix and open your DNS records.
  • Take screenshots or export a list of all DNS entries (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.).
  • Store these details safely so you can recreate them with the new provider.

Step 2: Choose a New DNS Provider

You can move DNS to:

  • Your domain registrar (if different from Wix)
  • Cloudflare or another DNS host

After choosing, create a DNS zone for your domain in that provider and replicate all the records from Wix to the new zone.

Step 3: Update Nameservers to the New Provider

  1. Go to the registrar where your domain is registered.
  2. Replace Wix nameservers with those supplied by your new DNS provider.
  3. Save the changes and wait for propagation, which can take up to 24–48 hours.

During this process, some users may experience brief downtime if records are missing or misconfigured, so double-check entries before making the switch.

Step 4: Add GoHighLevel DNS Records at the New Provider

Once your new DNS provider is active:

  1. Log in to GoHighLevel.
  2. Open your location settings and navigate to domains.
  3. Follow the GoHighLevel instructions to generate the required CNAME record(s).
  4. In your new DNS provider, add the CNAME for the desired subdomain pointing to the value from GoHighLevel.
  5. Save changes and wait for propagation.

After propagation, assign the domain to your GoHighLevel site or funnel just as in Option 1.

Best Practices When Moving to GoHighLevel

Keep these best practices in mind when migrating from Wix to GoHighLevel:

  • Avoid unnecessary changes: If Wix DNS works, simply add the GoHighLevel record instead of moving everything.
  • Document existing settings: Always record your existing DNS before editing.
  • Test on a subdomain first: Use a subdomain like test.yourdomain.com for your first GoHighLevel funnel.
  • Plan for propagation: DNS propagation can take time, so schedule your migration accordingly.

Troubleshooting Common GoHighLevel DNS Issues

If your domain is not connecting correctly to GoHighLevel, check the following:

  • Make sure only one CNAME exists for the same host (for example, only one entry for www).
  • Confirm you are editing DNS at the correct provider (the one whose nameservers are active).
  • Check for typos in the CNAME host and value.
  • Wait at least 30–60 minutes and clear cache before retesting.

If problems persist, compare your configuration with the official documentation and correct any differences.
