If you’re planning on moving your website from GoDaddy to Wix, you may be wondering how long the process will take. Here’s a quick guide to help you transfer your domain from GoDaddy to Wix.

First, you’ll need to log in to your GoDaddy account and unlock your domain. Once your domain is unlocked, you’ll need to generate an authorization code, which you’ll need in order to transfer your domain to Wix.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring your domain from GoDaddy to Wix, be aware that it may take up to 72 hours for the transfer to complete. Additionally, your domain will be in a ‘pending transfer’ status during this time, which means that you will not be able to make any changes to your DNS settings. After the transfer is complete, your domain will be registered with Wix and you will be able to manage it via their platform.

Next, log in to your Wix account and click on “Add Domain.” Enter your domain name and the authorization code when prompted. Once your domain is verified, you’ll be able to choose a website template and start building your site on Wix.

The entire process of transferring your domain from GoDaddy to Wix should take no more than a few days. However, it’s important to note that your website may be unavailable during the transfer process. So if you’re planning on making any major changes to your site, it’s best to do so before initiating the transfer.
