Wix domain cost breakdown

A domain from Wix starts at $0.98 for the first year on common domain extensions such as .xyz, and a .com is $7.90. Renewals are usually higher and depend on the ending, from $7.90 to $44.90 a year.


With an annual Wix plan, the voucher pays for one domain's first year. Below you'll find prices by extension, what the price covers, the add-ons you can skip and how to check your renewal cost.


Secure your perfect domain in just a few clicks with Wix. Search hundreds of extensions, see the first-year and renewal price before you commit, then connect it to your site in minutes.




TL;DR: how much does it cost to buy a domain from Wix


A Wix domain costs $7.90 for a .com in year one and $21.35 a year after that, while other popular endings range from under $1 to about $15 at registration. SSL and DNS come included with each one, and the first year is free with a yearly plan.

Wix domain pricing


Understanding Wix domain pricing structure


Wix prices domains in two tiers: a discounted first-year rate and a standard renewal rate. First-year prices run from $0.98 to about $15 across the most popular domain extensions, while renewals sit between $7.90 and $44.90 a year, so it helps to compare both numbers before you choose.


Whichever extension you pick, the domain comes with:


  • SSL certificate: every domain comes with a free SSL certificate, so your site loads over a secure connection from day one.

  • Hosting and DNS: a domain bought from Wix connects to your site automatically, with standard DNS management included.

  • Transfers: Wix charges no transfer fee. Moving a domain to Wix means buying at least one more year, added to the time you have left (see how to transfer a domain name).

  • Subdomains: add subdomains like blog.yourdomain.com at no extra charge.

  • 24/7 support: help with anything domain related, at any hour.


Domain privacy (WHOIS privacy) is offered as an option you can add when you register your domain, and it keeps your personal contact details out of public records.


Registration terms run from one to ten years, and automatic renewal is on by default so a domain does not lapse by accident. You can switch it off in your account, though you will then need to renew manually before the expiry date.


“Domain pricing isn’t just about finding the lowest number, it’s about understanding the value behind it. With Wix, your domain comes with instant reliability, easy management and smooth integration with your site. That means you’re not only paying for a name, you’re investing in a stress-free experience that helps your brand look polished and professional from the start.” - Ofir Gvili, domains PMM at Wix

Two things stand out. A cheap first year does not mean a cheap domain: .xyz costs under a dollar to register and $23.82 to renew, while .co.uk is $4.90 up front and only $7.90 after that. And .com, a familiar extension, renews for less than many others at $21.35.


Country-specific options like .co.uk and .de give you regional signal at a low entry price, and country code domains are covered by the free domain voucher too.


Premium domains sit outside this range entirely. These are already-registered names priced on keyword strength, length or existing traffic, so each one has its own price, often well above a standard registration.

How to get a free domain with Wix plans


Yearly and multi-year Wix Premium and Studio plans include a voucher for one year of free domain registration. Monthly plans don't. On a .com, that saves the $7.90 first-year price.



What the voucher covers


The voucher covers a wide range of extensions, including .com, .net and .org, plus country codes like .co.uk. You can use it for a new registration, and Wix also lets you redeem it when you transfer a domain to Wix.


The voucher does not cover premium domains or WHOIS privacy, which you can add separately when you register your domain.



When the free year ends


You have two months from buying the plan to redeem it. You will still need to add payment details, because the domain renews automatically at the standard rate once the free year ends. On a .com that means $21.35 in year two.




How to buy a domain from Wix step by step


The whole process takes a few minutes.


  1. Search for the name you want with the domain name search tool.

  2. Check availability. If your first choice is taken, review the alternative extensions and spellings the tool suggests.

  3. Pick your extension with both the first-year and the renewal price in mind, not just the headline number.

  4. Register it, choosing a term of one to ten years and deciding whether auto-renewal stays on.

  5. Connect it to your site, or park it until you are ready to start building.

Additional costs to consider


Most extras are optional upgrades rather than required fees.


  • Business email: a mailbox that matches your domain is a separate subscription. Standard DNS is all you need to point a domain at a site, but a business email account needs its own plan.

  • Premium DNS: available if you need advanced DNS control. Standard DNS is fine for most websites.

  • Regional taxes: VAT or local sales tax may be added at checkout depending on where you are.


“The question regarding domains is never about price alone, it’s about whether the domain strengthens visibility, credibility or long-term positioning. When a name aligns with branding and market perception, it can carry more weight than any marketing campaign.” - Alan Carr, creative director at Webpop Design



Renewal pricing and long-term costs


Wix discounts the first year on most extensions, and the renewal is usually higher. A .com registered at $7.90 renews at $21.35, a .org at $6.90 renews at $22.90 and an .online at $6.90 renews at $40.90.


A few extensions barely move. A .co.uk goes from $4.90 to $7.90, and .xyz renews at $23.82 after a first year of well under a dollar. Plan your budget on the renewal price rather than the first-year price.



How to check your renewal price


Your exact renewal cost depends on the extension, your local currency, the number of years you choose, whether you add privacy protection and local tax or VAT.


To see it, go to Premium Subscriptions in your Wix account and click View payment details next to the domain. You can also compare extensions on the domain pricing page before you buy.



Auto-renewal and multi-year terms


Domains renew automatically 30 days before expiry unless you turn that off, and email reminders go out beforehand so there is time to update a card or change the term.


Registering for several years at once locks in your name and saves you managing it every year. A longer term means fewer renewals to track, while a shorter one leaves room to change your mind.



If your domain expires


If a domain does expire, there is a grace period before it is released, and its length depends on the extension. A late fee may apply.
