If you’re moving your domain name to Wix, there are a few simple steps you need to follow:
1. First, you’ll need to unlock your domain name at your current registrar. This is usually done in your registrar’s control panel. Once your domain is unlocked, you’ll be able to get a transfer authorization code (sometimes called an EPP code).

2. Then, you’ll need to initiate the transfer at Wix. You can do this in the ‘Domains’ tab of your Wix account.
When prompted, enter the transfer authorization code from your current registrar.
3. Next, you’ll need to confirm the transfer with your current registrar. They will send you an email with a link to confirm. Once you click the link, the transfer will begin and can take up to a week to complete.
And that’s it! Once the transfer is complete, your domain will be managed in your Wix account.
Conclusion:
In order to transfer your domain name to Wix, you need to unlock your domain name at your current registrar and get a transfer authorization code. Then, initiate the transfer at Wix and confirm the transfer with your current registrar.
First, it is important to note that Wix is a platform that allows users to create websites. While it is possible to transfer your domain name to Wix, doing so may result in losing control of your domain name. This could happen if you forget to renew your domain name or if Wix decides to discontinue its service.
Second, transferring your domain name to Wix will likely change your DNS settings. This could cause your website to become unavailable or cause email delivery issues.
Finally, please be aware that there is a fee associated with transferring your domain name to Wix. This fee is typically around $15 but may vary depending on the registrar you use.
Overall, transferring your domain name to Wix may be a good option if you are comfortable with the risks involved. Otherwise, you may want to consider keeping your domain name registered with your current registrar.
