Purchasing a Domain from Wix

4 min read
A domain name is your site's personalized, unique web address on the web. It's the text that people type into a browser in order to reach your site, for example wix.com. This makes it easier for visitors to find your site and helps to make your web presence more professional, by providing a distinct online space for your company and brand.
You can browse and purchase a domain directly from Wix for your site.

Purchasing a domain

Choose a domain name that suits your business needs (for example, you may want to mention your business name or type of business). Search for the desired name and extension (e.g. .com or .net) to see if they're available, and choose the best time period for your needs – 1 to 3 years.

To purchase a domain:

  1. Go to your Domains page in your site.
  2. Click Buy a Domain.
  3. Enter a domain name and extension in the search field, then click Search.
  4. If the domain is available, click Get It to register it directly on Wix.
    Tip: If the domain you enter is not available, go back to step 2 and try another domain name and/or extension.
  5. Select the registration period and click Continue.
  6. Enter (or edit) your contact information and click Continue.
    Note: Under the GDPR, the personal details of users located in the EU (European Union) do not appear in the public WHOIS records.  Personal information, such as the EU user's name, address, and email, may be disclosed to third parties with legitimate interest (which is determined by the domain registrar). 
  7. Select a Privacy Protection level: 
    • Full Privacy Protection: Your contact details won't appear in the WHOIS domain information records. You can turn the privacy protection option on and off whenever you want. Users who opt for full privacy protection will also have their entire personal details hidden in the public WHOIS.
    • Basic Protection: Your phone number and email are replaced with generic information. Those who wish to contact you will be redirected to a contact form that protects you from receiving spam. Your other information remains public - your country, state/province, and organization. You can only change it from basic to full privacy protection by manually extending the domain subscription..
  1. Click Continue
  2. Select your payment method and click Submit Purchase.
