How does Wix domain pricing work when you buy or connect a domain?

Domain costs depend on the domain setup

A domain is billed separately from many website features, and the price can vary based on the extension, registration period, renewal terms, and any current promotions. Common extensions such as .com, .net, or country-specific domains may each have different pricing.

Buying a domain through Wix

If you register a domain in Wix, review the price shown in the domain checkout at www.wix.com. Pay attention to:

• Initial registration price: This is the amount for the first selected term.
• Renewal price: Renewals may differ from the first-year or promotional price.
• Registration length: Multi-year registrations can change the upfront total.
• Privacy options: Domain privacy or related services may be included or offered separately depending on the domain and region.
• Plan vouchers: If your Wix plan includes a domain voucher, check the voucher rules, eligible extensions, and expiration date before relying on it.

Connecting a domain you already own

You can also keep a domain with another registrar and connect it to a Wix site by updating DNS settings. In that case, the registrar continues to bill you for the domain, while Wix bills you for the website plan and any Wix services you use.

Best practice before checkout

Compare the first-term price with the renewal price, confirm who manages DNS, and save a reminder before the renewal date. This helps avoid surprise renewals or a domain expiring because billing details were outdated.
