Does Wix Own My Website?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:29 am

If you’re considering using Wix to create a website, you may be wondering if the platform owns your site. The short answer is no, Wix does not own your website. When you create a website on Wix, you become the owner of that site and can do with it as you please.

Wix is simply a platform that allows you to create and host your own website. You retain all ownership rights to your site and can take it down or move it to another platform at any time. That said, there are some things to keep in mind before using Wix.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

PRO TIP: When creating a website with Wix, you may not be aware that you are giving up some ownership rights to your website. Wix may own some of the content on your website, including the design, layout, and code. This means that if you ever want to leave Wix, you may not be able to take your website with you. It is important to read the terms and conditions before creating a website with Wix, so that you are aware of the ownership rights you are giving up.

While Wix gives you full ownership of your site, the platform itself owns the domain name. This means that if you ever want to move your site off of Wix, you’ll need to buy a new domain name.

Additionally, Wix stores all of your site’s data on their servers. So if you cancel your Wix account, your site will go offline and you’ll lose all of your content.

Overall, Wix is a great platform for creating a website. Just be aware of the limitations before using it.
