What Happens if Wix Goes Out of Business?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:30 am

As one of the most popular website builders on the market, Wix is trusted by millions of users to create beautiful websites. But what happens if Wix goes out of business?

While it’s unlikely that Wix will go out of business anytime soon, there are a few things that could happen if it did.

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.

First, all of your websites would go offline. This means that anyone who visits your website would see a ‘page not found’ error.

Second, you would no longer have access to your website or any of the content that you’ve created. This includes any images, videos, or text that you’ve added to your site.

Third, you would no longer be able to use any of the Wix features or tools. This includes things like the Wix Editor, which is used to create and edit your website, and the Wix App Market, which lets you add extra features to your site.

Fourth, you would no longer be able to contact Wix customer support. This means that if you had any questions or problems with your website, you wouldn’t be able to get help from Wix.

PRO TIP: If Wix goes out of business, your website could be taken down with it. If you have a paid subscription with Wix, you may be able to get a refund for the time left on your subscription. However, if your website is free, you will not be able to get a refund and will lose your website.

Finally, if you had paid for a premium plan with Wix, you would not be refunded for any unused time.

So what can you do to protect yourself if Wix goes out of business?

The best thing you can do is to create a backup of your website before anything happens. This way, if Wix does go out of business, you’ll still have a copy of your website and all its content.

To create a backup, you can use a tool like the Backup & Restore app from the Wix App Market. This app lets you download a copy of your entire website so that you can restore it later if needed.

You can also choose to host your website with another company instead of Wix. This way, if Wix does go offline, your website will still be up and running.

Finally, make sure to keep all your important information stored safely outside of Wix. This includes things like contact forms, order forms, and any other data that you don’t want to lose if Wix goes away.

Conclusion: While it’s unlikely that Wix will go out of business anytime soon, there are a few things that could happen if it did. To protect yourself from these potential problems, it’s best to create a backup of your website before anything happens.
