3 Your domain

Bought your domain at Wix? Two ways. Bought it elsewhere? Choose your company on our domain page.

Keep it there and point it to Big Cat

Step by step at Wix →

Or move it to another domain company

2. Click ⋯ next to it → Transfer away from Wix. Wix emails the transfer code (EPP code) to the domain’s contact address.
3. Give that code to your new domain company. It can take up to 7 days.
4. A domain bought or transferred in the last 60 days can’t move yet (ICANN’s rule): point it instead.

4 Cancel the old plan, last

1. In your Wix account, open Premium Subscriptions.
2. Click ⋯ next to the site’s plan → Cancel Plan, and confirm.

2. In the Import & export content panel, click Export, then the WordPress icon. Download the .xml file: your pages’ words, one blog and its posts.
3. Photos: there’s no download-all. In the Assets panel, hover a photo → ⋯ → File details, then right-click the preview and save it. Your own originals on your computer are even better.
