Transferring Your Wix Domain Away from Wix
3 min read
You can transfer a domain purchased from Wix to another domain host. When you transfer your domain away from Wix, your domain's contact information, DNS settings, and renewal payments are all managed in your new provider's account.
Before you begin:
We recommend keeping your domain with Wix as your host. If you transfer your domain away, your Wix site is disconnected, and Wix is no longer able to assist with managing your domain.

Transferring your Wix domain away from Wix
Transfer your domain away from Wix to have your domain settings, billing and support managed outside of Wix.
To transfer your domain:
- Go to Domains in your Wix account.
- Click the Domain Actions icon
next to the relevant domain. - Select Transfer away from Wix.
- After reviewing the info about transferring your domain, click Transfer Domain.
- Click I Still Want to Transfer. We’ll send a transfer authorization code (EPP code) to your domain's registrant contact email address.
- Once you get the code, follow the instructions from your new domain host to transfer your domain.
Tip:
Once your new domain host enters the EPP code on their end to initiate the transfer, you can use whois.com to confirm it was initiated. Go to whois.com to check the status. Search for your domain, then check the Status field, which should show "pending transfer" if the transfer has been initiated.
