This article will give you a general overview on how to setup a custom domain on your Mixo website:

Here you will find 3 records (1 CNAME and 2 TXT records) provided by Mixo. These need to be added into your registrars DNS settings.
Log into your registrar’s account page and on the registrar’s DNS settings page, add the 3 records (1 CNAME and 2 TXT records) provided by Mixo
Save the changes and wait for the records to propagate (they can take up to an hour to refresh)
Go back to Custom Domain section on Mixo and refresh the records.
Once all records have been changed to "Active", you must Publish your site to ensure the latest code points to your site.
Congratulations, your domain is now connected to your Mixo website!

Question 6

Are custom domains provided or do I need to purchase my own?

Accepted Answer

We don't provide a custom domain, you will need to purchase your own domain from a provider like GoDaddy, NameCheap etc.

First, let's clarify the differences between a domain registrar and a domain host (Mixo):

Domain Registrar: A domain registrar is a company that manages the reservation of domain names. They allow you to purchase and register your domain name (e.g., yourwebsite.com). Examples of domain registrars include GoDaddy, NameCheap, and Google Domains. They may also offer additional services like SSL certificates, email hosting, and more, but their primary function is to help you secure the domain name you want.
Domain Host (Mixo): Mixo, on the other hand, is a website builder and hosting platform. We provide you with the tools to create, edit, and publish your website, as well as host it on our servers. Our focus is on delivering a streamlined and user-friendly experience for designing and maintaining your website. We do not handle domain registration but allow you to connect your domain purchased from a domain registrar to your Mixo site.

While it might seem convenient to have everything in one place, it's actually beneficial for you to have control over your domain separately from your website builder/host. This gives you flexibility in case you ever want to change website builders or hosts in the future, without losing your domain name and the associated Google rankings.

To summarise, you will purchase your domain from a domain registrar, and onc
