Domain transfer FAQ
How much does it cost to transfer a domain?
The cost of a domain transfer usually includes paying for one extra year of registration at the standard domain price for that extension. When you transfer a domain to Wix, you pay for at least one additional year, and any time left on your current registration is added on top—you don’t lose it.
The exact price depends on your domain’s TLD (the ending, like .com, .net, .org, etc.) and any promotions or vouchers available in your account. You’ll always see the final amount at checkout before you confirm the transfer.
Will my website go down during a domain transfer?
Your site doesn’t need to go down during a domain transfer. As long as your DNS records stay the same while the transfer is in progress, visitors should be able to reach your site as usual.
What happens to my email when you transfer a domain?
Your business email can keep working during and after a domain transfer as long as your DNS records still point to the same email provider. Transferring the domain doesn’t automatically move your email service with it, and it doesn’t change your email address.
How long does a domain transfer take?
A domain transfer usually takes up to 8 days. The exact timing depends on your current registrar, whether your domain is unlocked, and how quickly you confirm any approval emails.
When you transfer a domain to Wix, we send you an email after we receive your transfer request. As long as your domain is eligible and the authorization code you entered is correct, the transfer typically completes within the standard 8‑day window, without you needing to do anything else.
How do I transfer a domain name to another person?
To transfer a domain name to another person you either move it to their registrar account or update ownership details, depending on your current registrar’s rules. The new owner usually has to approve the change from their side.
In general you should:
Confirm the domain is active and unlocked
Check your registrar’s instructions for changing ownership
Request and securely share the authorization code if a registrar‑to‑registrar move is needed
Ask the new owner to start the transfer with their registrar and approve any confirmation emails they receive
If you both use Wix, you may be able to move the domain between your Wix accounts directly—either by transferring a domain you bought from Wix to the other person’s account, or by removing an externally purchased domain from one Wix account and reconnecting it to another—without transferring it to a different registrar. If you don’t already own a domain, you can search for a domain and find the perfect option for your site.
