How Long Does a Domain Take to Activate Wix?

Last updated on January 7, 2023 @ 7:40 am

As soon as you purchase a domain from Wix, it starts propagating across the internet so that everyone can find your website. This process can take up to 48 hours, but in most cases, it’s much faster than that.

You can check the progress of your domain’s propagation by going to whatsmydns.net and entering your domain name in the search bar. If you see ‘Success’ next to each of the records, that means your domain is fully propagated and you can start using it with your Wix website!

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: If you are planning to use Wix to create a website, be aware that it may take some time for your domain to activate. Wix is a popular website builder, but it can take up to 48 hours for your domain to become active. This means that you will not be able to access your website or email during this time. If you need to access your website urgently, we recommend using another provider.
