    So you have a domain that used to point to a Wix website and now you want it to point to WordPress website?
    Are those websites (Wix and WordPress) at the same of different hosting providers?

    Those 2 websites on different hosting providers. The Wix website is hosted by Wix. And the WordPress website is hosted Hostgator. Now I want to connect the http://www.bake-care.com domain to WordPress which is a new point to Wix website – to point to WordPress website.
    Than you

    So, you’ll need nameservers from Hostgator and you’ll also need to login to Hostgator’s cPanel and set up that http://www.bake-care.com/ points to your WP installation.
    Then (or first, doesn’t matter), you’ll need to login to your domain control (networksolutions.com) panel and change domain name servers from ns14.wixdns.net and ns14.wixdns.net to those obtained from Hostgator.
    Mind you it might take up to 48 hours for the new DNS to fully propagate throughout the world.
