How much does a Wix domain cost?

Wix offers competitive domain pricing that varies depending on the domain extension you choose. Understanding both initial and renewal costs will help you budget effectively for your website.

Initial Registration Pricing

A standard .com domain costs $13.35 for the first year on Wix. Other popular domain extensions have similar pricing:

• .org and .net domains: approximately $14.95/year
• .co.uk (United Kingdom): $14.95/year
• .biz domains: $15.95/year
• .blog domains: $25.00/year

One significant benefit is that most of Wix's paid plans include a free custom domain for the first year when you pay annually. This means if you're subscribing to a Wix premium plan, your domain is included at no additional cost during the first year.

Renewal Costs

After the first year, renewal rates increase substantially. A .com domain renews at approximately $22.99/year, representing a 40-60% increase over the initial registration price. Most standard domain extensions will cost around $14.95-$15.00 annually upon renewal.

Included Features

Wix includes valuable protections with every domain registration at no additional cost:

• Free SSL certificate for secure browsing
• Free domain privacy (WHOIS protection) to keep your personal information private
• No hidden setup fees

Cost-Saving Tips

To minimize long-term expenses, consider purchasing your domain from external registrars like Namecheap or GoDaddy, where renewal prices are often significantly lower. You can then connect your externally purchased domain to your Wix site. Additionally, purchasing multi-year domain registrations upfront locks in lower rates and protects against future price increases.

While Wix's domain pricing is competitive for the first year, planning for higher renewal costs will help you make an informed decision about where to register your domain.
