Is Wix a Registrar?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:12 am

Although Wix is not a registrar, it is a domain name provider. Wix offers a free domain name for one year with the purchase of a yearly web hosting plan.

PRO TIP: Wix is not a registrar and cannot be used to register domains.

After the first year, you can renew your domain name through Wix at the then-current renewal price. In order to use a custom domain name with Wix, you must first purchase your desired domain name from a registrar such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hover, or 1&1 IONOS. Once you have purchased your domain, you can then connect it to your Wix site following these instructions.
