Important:

To transfer your domain to Wix:

  2. Click Connect Domain.

    Note: If you've already added a domain, click Connect a domain you already own and select Transfer a domain to Wix (advanced).
  1. Read the instructions and click Start Transfer.
  2. Enter the domain you want to transfer (e.g., mystunningwebsite.com).
  3. Click the drop-down menu to select where the domain was purchased from and click Continue.
  4. Log in to the account where your domain was purchased, then in your Wix account, click I logged in. 
  5. Unlock your domain in the account where your domain was purchased, then in your Wix account, click I unlocked it. 
  6. Get an authorization code from the account where your domain was purchased, then in your Wix account, paste it into the Enter authorization code field.

  4. Click Continue. 
  5. Select a privacy option: 
    • Private Registration: 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.
    • Public Registration: Your name and address always remains public in the WHOIS domain information records. You can only change it to private when manually extending the domain subscription.
  6. Click Continue. 
  7. Select your payment method.
  8. Click Submit Purchase.
Once you've submitted the purchase, an email is sent from newsletter@i.wix.com to your domain's registrant contact email, confirming that the transfer has been initiated. It may take up to 7 days for your domain transfer to complete.
