Can You Have a Database on Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:59 am

There are a lot of website builders out there that allow you to create a website without having to know how to code. Wix is one of those website builders. You can create a website for free on Wix, but if you want to use your own domain name (like www.yourdomain.com) then you have to pay for a premium plan. With Wix, you can create a website in minutes, without having to learn HTML or CSS.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Wix to host your database, be aware that there are some serious limitations. Wix does not allow you to connect to your database using any external tools, so you will be limited to using their web-based interface. Additionally, Wix only supports MySQL databases, so if you are using a different database system, you will not be able to use Wix.

But can you create a database on Wix? The answer is no.

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.

Wix does not allow you to create a database on their platform. If you need a database for your website, then you will need to use another platform such as WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla. These platforms allow you to create a database and then use that database to power your website.

So if you need a database for your website, then Wix is not the platform for you. You will need to use another platform that allows you to create a database.
