GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

First, you’ll need to purchase a domain name and web hosting. We recommend using a reputable web hosting provider like Bluehost, HostGator, or SiteGround. Once you’ve purchased your domain name and web hosting, you can connect your domain to your Wix site by following these instructions.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to host a Wix site on your own server, be aware that there are some risks involved. Wix is a proprietary platform, which means that you will not be able to access the source code or make any modifications to it. Additionally, Wix sites are not designed to be hosted on third-party servers, so you may experience compatibility issues. Finally, if you violate the terms of service, your Wix site may be taken down without notice.

Once you’ve connected your domain, you can choose to keep your Wix site hosted on our servers or transfer it to your own. If you’re not sure which option is right for you, our support team can help!
