Who Owns Wix Domain?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:30 pm

PRO TIP: If you are using a Wix domain, it is important to be aware of who owns the domain. The owner of a Wix domain has full control over the domain, including the ability to delete the domain or transfer it to another owner. If you are not the owner of the Wix domain, you should be aware that the owner may delete the domain or transfer it to another owner at any time.

Wix is a popular website builder that allows users to create and design their own websites. One of the features of Wix is that users can buy their own domain name through the Wix platform. This means that users can have a website with their own custom domain name, without having to go through a third-party domain registrar.

So, who owns a Wix domain?

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.

The answer is that the user owns the domain name, but Wix owns the actual website. This means that if a user wants to move their website off of the Wix platform, they will need to transfer their domain name to a new host. However, if a user wants to keep their website on Wix, they can continue to renew their domain name through Wix.

In conclusion, while users do own their Wix domain names, they do not own the actual website. Wix owns the website and can determine what happens to it, including whether or not it remains on the Wix platform.
