You can use your own domain name with Wix! You can either connect your domain name to Wix, or you can transfer your domain name to Wix. If you connect your domain name to Wix, you will still need to keep your domain name registered with your current registrar.
If you transfer your domain name to Wix, Wix will become your registrar. Connecting your domain name to Wix is free, and there are no set-up fees or annual fees. You will need to pay for your domain name registration and renewals as usual.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
Additionally, if you ever decide to leave Wix, transferring your domain name away can be difficult and may require working with their support team. Therefore, we recommend using a dedicated domain name for your Wix site, rather than your primary domain name.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when using your own domain name with Wix:
- Your site’s address will be www.yourdomain.com (or .net, .org, .info, etc.).
- You can only connect one domain name per Wix account. If you want to use multiple domain names, you’ll need to create separate Wix accounts for each one.
- If you have a Premium Plan, you can use a custom Domain Name Server (DNS) to point your domain to your Wix site. This can be helpful if you want to use a third-party email service or if you have other specific DNS requirements.
- If you’re transferring a domain from another registrar to Wix, it’s important to note that the transfer process can take up to 7 days to complete. During this time, your site may be inaccessible or may display a “transfer in progress” message.
- If you already have a website hosted on your domain and you want to use Wix to replace it, you’ll need to update the DNS settings for your domain to point to Wix’s servers. This can be done through your domain registrar or through the Wix Domain Settings page.
Using your own domain name with Wix can give your site a professional appearance and make it easier for visitors to remember your URL. Just keep in mind that you can only connect one domain per Wix account and that the transfer process can take up to 7 days to complete.
Wix is a popular website builder that allows users to create free websites. One of the great things about Wix is that you can use your own domain name with it! You can either connect your domain name to Wix, or you can transfer your domain name to Wix.
