To point a domain hosted on Wix or Squarespace to a specific hosting provider, in this case, using the DNS servers ns1.stackdns.com, ns2.stackdns.com, ns3.stackdns.com, ns4.stackdns.com, and possibly configuring an IP address, follow these steps depending on the platform you are using.

Wix allows you to point your domain to external servers by updating the name servers. Follow these steps to change the DNS settings:

1. Log into your Wix account.
   • Go to the Wix website and log in to your account.
2. Access your domain settings.
   • On the Wix dashboard, click on “Settings” in the left sidebar.
   • Scroll down to “Domains” under Site Settings, and select the domain you want to point.
3. Go to Advanced DNS settings.
   • In the domain management panel, click on “Advanced” and then go to “DNS Records”.
4. Change the name servers.
   • Scroll down to find the option to modify the Name Servers.
   • Replace the current Wix name servers with the following:
     • ns1.stackdns.com
     • ns2.stackdns.com
     • ns3.stackdns.com
     • ns4.stackdns.com
   • Save the settings.
5. Add an A Record if necessary.
   • If you’re also given an IP address, you may need to create or modify an A Record:
     • Go to the DNS Records section.
     • Locate the A Record for your domain or add a new one if it doesn’t exist.
     • Enter your provided IP Address in the “Value” field.
6. Allow time for propagation.
   • DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, but are usually quicker.

     • ns2.stackdns.com
     • ns3.stackdns.com
     • ns4.stackdns.com
5. Add an A Record if necessary.
