- Transferring your Wix domain away from Wix
- FAQs
You can transfer a domain purchased from Wix to another domain host. When you transfer your domain away from Wix, your domain's contact information, DNS settings, and renewal payments are all managed in your new provider's account.
We recommend keeping your domain with Wix as your host if possible. If you transfer your domain away, your Wix site is disconnected, and Wix is no longer able to assist with managing your domain.
Before you begin:
- Your domain must be unlocked before you begin the transfer. If you have recently registered or transferred your domain, or updated your domain contact information, you may not be able to transfer your domain due to ICANN's 60 day lock policy.
- We recommend disabling Private Registration before starting the transfer to make sure you don't miss any important emails related to the transfer.
