  Hi there!

  Wix does not accept incoming domain transfers, but I’m happy to help you set up your name servers so that your domain points to your new site over there. Here are the directions that Wix provides:

  http://www.wix.com/support/html5/domains/connecting-domains-purchased-elsewhere/tutorial/connecting-your-domain-using-name-servers#anchor-connecting-your-domain-wi

  When you get to the step about asking us to change your name servers, we have a guide that will show you how to do that:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  Doing it this way means that you’ll still manage your domain registration through WordPress.com, so you should go ahead and renew your domain with us.
  Let me know if I can help along the way or if you have any other questions!

  Thanks for your help!

  I have transferred domains for turnbofit.com and it is just the DNS I need assistance with from your end.

  I tried doing this myself in WP but it is disabled/grayed out .

  Please connect my domain to name servers- NS1.WIX.COM (IP address 216.139.213.90) and NS2.WIX.COM (IP address 95.211.144.195).

  Thanks again!

  In order to specify custom name servers, you need to change the radio box to “Use the custom name servers listed below”.

  Let me know if I can help!

  I’ve tried that, clicking ‘Use the custom name servers listed below’ and even ‘save changes’ is grayed out and doesn’t allow for it to be updated or changed.

  I need to change them to ‘NS1.WIX.COM’ and ‘NS2.WIX.COM’ asap.

  Thanks!
  Sean

  Will it transfer to the Wix version site now/is it in the process of?

  Yep! DNS changes can take several hours to fully propagate, but if it isn’t working in 24 hours let me know and I can take a look. :)
