Why Does My Wix Site Say Mysite?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:37 am

If you’re a Wix user, you may have noticed that your site’s URL says “mysite” instead of your actual site name. This can be frustrating, especially if you’ve spent a lot of time customizing your site. So why does my Wix site say “mysite”?

The “mysite” URL is actually a default URL that Wix assigns to all new sites. Once you publish your site, Wix will automatically generate a unique URL for your site based on your site name. So if you have a site called “example.com”, your Wix URL will be “example.com”.

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.

There are a few reasons why your Wix site might still say “mysite”. One possibility is that you haven’t published your site yet.

Remember, the “mysite” URL is only a temporary URL that Wix assigns to new sites. Once you publish your site, Wix will automatically generate a unique URL for your site.

PRO TIP: If you see the message “mysite” on your Wix site, it means that your site is not connected to a domain. This can happen for a number of reasons, including:

-Your site was created using the Wix Free plan, which does not include a domain.

-Your domain expired and is no longer connected to your Wix site.

-Your domain was transferred away from Wix.

If your site is not connected to a domain, you will not be able to receive visitors at your custom URL (www.mysite.com). To connect your site to a domain, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Another possibility is that you’ve published your site, but you’re using a free plan that doesn’t include a custom domain name. With a free plan, your site will always include the “wixsite.com” domain in its URL (e.g., example.wixsite.com). If you want to use a custom domain name with your free plan, you can purchase a domain from Wix or connect an existing domain to your Wix site.

If you’re using a paid plan, but your URL still says “mysite”, it’s possible that you haven’t connected a custom domain name to your site yet. Remember, with a paid plan you can use either a custom domain name (e.com) or the default “wixsite.com” domain (e.

Finally, it’s also possible that you’ve connected a custom domain name to your site, but the DNS settings have not propagated yet. DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, so if you just connected your domain name it’s possible that the DNS changes have not taken effect yet.

In conclusion, there are several possible explanations for why your Wix site says “mysite”. The most likely explanation is that you haven’t published your site yet, or that you’re using a free plan and haven’t connected a custom domain name. If you’re using a paid plan and have connected a custom domain name, it’s possible that the DNS changes have not propagated yet.
