If you have a Wix website, you may be wondering if it’s possible to remove the “wix.com” from your URL. While it’s not possible to completely remove Wix from your URL, there are a few ways that you can make it less visible. In this article, we’ll show you how to hide or shorten the “wix.com” part of your URL.
If you want to hide the “wix.com” part of your URL, you can use a custom domain. A custom domain is a unique, branded address that you can use to promote your business and build your online identity.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
When you use a custom domain, the “wix.com” part of your URL will be replaced with your custom domain name. For example, if your custom domain is “www.mywebsite.com”, your website’s URL will appear as “www.com”.
You can also use a domain forwarding service to forward traffic from your custom domain to your Wix website. Domain forwarding allows you to use a custom domain without changing your website’s URL.
For example, if your Wix website’s URL is “www.wix.com/my-site”, you can forward traffic from “www.mydomain.com” to that address. When someone types in “www.com”, they will be taken to “www.wixsite/mysite”.
If you want to remove the “wix” part of your URL, but keep the “com”, you can upgrade to a paid plan and use Wix’s Domain Connect feature. Domain Connect allows you to connect a domain that you own (such as “www.com”) to your Wix website and change your website’s address to match your domain (such as “www.mydomain”). This will remove the “wix” part of your URL and replace it with your custom domain name.
No matter which method you choose, using a custom domain is the best way to hide or remove the “wix” part of your URL and give your website a professional look and feel.
