If you’re one of the millions of people who use Wix to create a website, you may be wondering if you can change your domain name for free. The short answer is yes, but there are some things you need to know before you make the switch.

First, it’s important to understand that your domain name is separate from your Wix account. Your Wix account is what you use to log in to Wix and create your website.

Your domain name is the unique address that people use to find your website on the internet. Think of it like your website’s street address.

You can have multiple domain names associated with your Wix account, but only one can be connected to your website at a time. This means that if you want to change your domain name, you’ll need to disconnect your current domain name from your Wix account and then connect a new one.

PRO TIP: If you are considering changing your domain name on Wix, be aware that there is a charge for this service. Additionally, your site may be unavailable for up to 48 hours while the change is being made.

Fortunately, changing your domain name on Wix is a pretty simple process. Just follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Wix account.
  2. Click on the ‘My Domains’ tab.

  5. Enter your password and click ‘OK’.
  6. Click on the ‘Connect Domain’ button.
  7. Enter the new domain name you want to use and click ‘Continue’.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed your domain name on Wix.
