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

Domain prices differ by extension. Common extensions like .com are among the more affordable options, while specialized extensions such as .blog typically cost more. Prices are set per extension and can change, so check the current rate for the domain you want on www.wix.com.

One significant benefit is that most of Wix's paid plans include a free custom domain for the first year when you pay annually. If you subscribe to a Premium plan, your domain is usually included at no additional cost during that first year.

Renewal Costs

After the first year, renewal rates are typically higher than the introductory registration price. This is standard across most registrars, so factor the ongoing annual renewal into your long-term budget rather than only the first-year cost.

Included Features

Wix includes valuable protections with domain registration at no extra cost:

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

Cost-Saving Tips

To minimize long-term expenses, you can compare renewal prices with external registrars and connect an externally purchased domain to your Wix site. Registering for multiple years upfront can also lock in current rates and protect against future increases.

While Wix's domain pricing is competitive for the first year, planning for renewal costs helps you make an informed decision about where to register and manage your domain. For up-to-date pricing, visit www.wix.com.
