Wix, Godaddy Question

[bumpylemon]

So i designed a website at Wix for free. I then went to godaddy and bought my domain name. Now i am stuck. is there no way to connect the 2 together and make my site live? thanks!

Your GoDaddy account has a domain forwarding tab somewhere. It's been so long since I did it. There was an option to always keep the address bar as your-domain.com, which I did, so that you wouldn't be able to tell that my website is from webs.com

wtf i have to pay wix and godaddy now that i bought godaddy.

 

[bumpylemon]

great so now i have to either build and pay thru godaddy...or go thru wix and get the cheapest upgrade and still have ads.

That's what I did

I totally hear your frustration. I did the exact same thing you did when trying to get my own domain name. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the domain name (which for me was like 20 bucks for a year I think from godaddy) then the subscription per month for Wix. I got the cheapest upgrade just cause I don't have a lot of traffic going to my site right now so for the moment I'm dealing with it. I will upgrade soon enough though to get rid of the ads. If you have problems, go to their wiki page. I was confused but it explains everything so well I had all my issues resolved in no time.

Really? That sucks I don't remember what I paid but it was like 20 or something. Don't think I paid more than that.

You did it all wrong. You bought hosting too with godaddy? You are supposed to buy only the domain and point the DNS to wix.

 

[bumpylemon]

well.. why did you buy "Hosting" through godaddy? It should have only costed you around $17 if it is a new registration or only $7 if you transfered it from other registrar.

EDIT: sorry didnt see your last response

 

[bumpylemon]

just called godaddy. and they refunded me for the hosting hahah. thats awesome
