Domain transfer FAQ
What is a domain transfer?
Domain transfer is the process of moving your domain name from one registrar (domain provider) to another. Your web address stays the same, but the company that manages your DNS settings, billing and contact details changes.
When you transfer domain names to Wix, Wix becomes your domain host. You then manage your DNS records, renewals and ownership details directly from your Wix account.
Why can’t I transfer a domain within 60 days?
You usually can’t transfer a domain within 60 days of registering it because of ICANN’s “60‑day domain lock” policy. This security measure helps prevent fraud and unauthorized domain moves between registrars.
During this 60‑day period, your registrar locks the domain so you can’t change who owns or controls it. In most cases, you can still update DNS or connect the domain to a different site, but you’ll need to wait until the lock ends before you can carry out another domain name transfer.
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.
Can I transfer a domain for free?
You can’t complete a domain transfer entirely for free because registrars require you to at least pay for the price of extending the domain itself. That renewal is what keeps your domain active at the new registrar.
How do I transfer a domain to Wix?
To transfer a domain to Wix, first unlock it with your current registrar and get your authorization (EPP) code. Then start the transfer from your Wix account. Once it’s approved, the domain transfer can take up to 8 days to complete and your billing and DNS move to Wix.
In short, you need to:
Check that your domain isn’t in a 60‑day lock period
Request your authorization (EPP) code from your current registrar
Enter your domain, paste the authorization code, then complete your payment and contact details
