FAQ
01.
How does web hosting work?
Any content from your website, like images or videos, is stored on a server. Wix offers free website hosting, which means that Wix servers display your website to a visitor once they type in your web address into their browser.
02.
What kind of web hosting do I need?
The type of web hosting you need depends on your current website and how many site visitors you expect to receive. With Wix, your site is hosted for free, as soon as you hit Publish. You can always upgrade to one of our Premium Plans to get more storage and bandwidth.
03.
What is Bandwidth?
Bandwidth determines how much data can be passed between your website and a visitor throughout a given time period. Websites that receive significant traffic or those that feature heavy multimedia will need more bandwidth to process and deliver requests. Free Wix sites come with up to 500 MB of bandwidth, and you can upgrade by switching to a premium plan. Explore the bandwidth allowance for each plan here.
