What you get with a Wix domain
When you register a .com domain through Wix, you'll get tools to manage your site's security, email and branding all in one place.
A unique personalized web address: A domain like yourbrand.com gives your site a clear identity making it easier for people to find you. It also helps your site look more professional from the get-go especially if you’re creating a business website or an online portfolio.
Privacy and security are built-in: You get options like Private Registration which hides your personal contact details from public records. DNSSEC protection also adds an extra layer of security by helping prevent domain spoofing or tampering. These features work in the background so your domain stays protected without any extra steps from you.
Custom email addresses and subdomains: Create a professional email address like yourname@yourdomain.com to build trust and look the part. You can also set up subdomains like blog.yourdomain.com or shop.yourdomain.com. This is great for separating parts of your site while keeping everything under one brand.
Simple domain management: When you get your domain through Wix, you can manage everything right from your dashboard. Connect a new domain, transfer one you already own or link an existing domain without any complicated steps. DNS settings, renewals and connections are all in one place, keeping things organized and easy to update as your site grows.

Priority customer care: Get 24/7 support with a premium plan. If something breaks or loads incorrectly you can get help fast. Chat or email our team to keep your site running smoothly.
More storage and bandwidth: As your site grows you’ll likely add more images, pages and traffic. Premium plans give you extra storage for content and more bandwidth so your site can handle more visitors without slowing down. This is great for eCommerce sites, blogs or service-based businesses.
Google Analytics integration: Connect your site to Google Analytics and get to know your visitors. You’ll see where they come from, what pages they look at and how long they stick around. This info will help you tweak your content, improve your pages and see what’s getting results.
Accept online payments: Premium plans unlock eCommerce features that let you take payments right on your site. You can sell products, services or digital goods and manage transactions all in one place. This is built into the Wix system, so setup stays simple without needing separate tools.
Get advanced business tools and app vouchers: Certain yearly plans come with added perks like app vouchers and powerful tools for marketing, bookings and automation. These can help you add more functions to your site as it grows without starting over. You can add what you need when you need it right from the Wix App Market.

How to register a .com domain with Wix
To register a .com domain through Wix, start on the .com domain search page or head to the Domains section inside your Wix account if you already have one set up.
Choose your domain and registration period
Enter the domain name you want. Make sure to select the .com extension, then run a search to check availability. If the domain is free, you’ll see the option to continue with it.
Once you’ve found an available domain, click "Get It". You’ll then choose how long you want to register it for. Wix lets you select different registration periods which can affect your overall yearly cost.
Enter your details and set domain privacy options
You’ll be asked to enter or confirm your contact details. These are used for domain registration and ownership records so it’s important to keep them accurate.
Before completing the purchase, you’ll choose your privacy and security settings. Private Registration is usually recommended since it helps hide your personal information from public domain records.
Finally, click "Continue", select your payment method and complete the purchase by clicking "Submit Purchase". Once confirmed, your domain is registered and ready to connect to your site.
