TL;DR: how much does it cost to buy a domain from Wix
Domain pricing at Wix has two numbers that matter: the discounted first year and the standard renewal that follows it. Everything below covers both, plus what comes bundled at no charge, the costs that are genuinely optional and how to pay nothing at all in year one.

Understanding Wix domain pricing structure
Wix prices domains in two tiers: a discounted first-year rate and a standard renewal rate. First-year prices run from $0.98 to roughly $15 across the most popular domain extensions, while renewals sit between $7.90 and $44.90 a year. That gap is the part most people miss, so check both numbers before you settle on an extension.
Whichever extension you pick, the price includes all of this:
SSL certificate: every domain comes with a free SSL certificate, so your site loads over a secure connection from day one.
Hosting and DNS: a domain bought from Wix connects to your site automatically, with standard DNS management included.
Free transfers: no fee to move a domain to or from Wix, in either direction.
Subdomains: add subdomains like blog.yourdomain.com at no extra charge.
24/7 support: help with anything domain related, at any hour.
Domain privacy (WHOIS privacy) is offered as an option you can add when you register your domain, and it keeps your personal contact details out of public records.
Registration terms run from one to ten years, and automatic renewal is on by default so a domain does not lapse by accident. You can switch it off in your account, though you will then need to renew manually before the expiry date.
“Domain pricing isn’t just about finding the lowest number, it’s about understanding the value behind it. With Wix, your domain comes with instant reliability, easy management and smooth integration with your site. That means you’re not only paying for a name, you’re investing in a stress-free experience that helps your brand look polished and professional from the start.” - Ofir Gvili, domains PMM at Wix
Breaking down costs by domain extension
Wix supports over 400 extensions. Here is what the most common ones cost in year one and on renewal:

.xyz | $0.98 | Yes | $23.82/year |
.co.uk | $4.90 | Yes | $7.90/year |
.org | $6.90 | Yes | $22.90/year |
.online | $6.90 | Yes | $40.90/year |
.com | $7.90 | Yes | $21.35/year |

Editor's note: plans and pricing are current as of August 18, 2026. They are subject to change at any time.
Two things stand out. A cheap first year does not mean a cheap domain: .xyz costs under a dollar to register and $23.82 to renew, while .co.uk is $4.90 up front and only $7.90 after that. And .com, the most recognizable extension of the lot, is one of the cheaper renewals at $21.35.
Country-specific options like .co.uk and .de give you regional signal at a low entry price, and country code domains are covered by the free domain voucher too.
Premium domains sit outside this range entirely. These are already-registered names priced on keyword strength, length or existing traffic, and they can run from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

How to get a free domain with Wix plans
Every annual Wix Premium or Studio plan includes a voucher for one year of free domain registration. It covers most standard extensions, which means a .com that would otherwise cost $7.90 in year one costs nothing.
The voucher covers over 30 extensions including .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info, plus country codes like .co.uk, .de and .ca. It applies to new registrations only, not to renewals or to transfers of a domain you already own.
You have two months from buying the plan to redeem it. You will still need to add payment details, because the domain renews automatically at the standard rate once the free year ends. On a .com that means $21.35 in year two.
The voucher does not cover premium domains or WHOIS privacy, which you can add separately when you register your domain.
How to buy a domain from Wix step by step
The whole process takes a few minutes.
Search for the name you want with the domain name search tool.
Check availability. If your first choice is taken, review the alternative extensions and spellings the tool suggests.
Pick your extension with both the first-year and the renewal price in mind, not just the headline number.
Register it, choosing a term of one to ten years and deciding whether auto-renewal stays on.
Connect it to your site, or park it until you are ready to start building.
Additional costs to consider
Wix pricing is transparent and most extras are genuine upgrades rather than surprise fees.
Business email: a mailbox that matches your domain is a separate subscription. Standard DNS is all you need to point a domain at a site, but a business email account needs its own plan.
Premium DNS: available if you need advanced DNS control. Standard DNS is fine for most websites.
Regional taxes: VAT or local sales tax may be added at checkout depending on where you are.
“The question regarding domains is never about price alone, it’s about whether the domain strengthens visibility, credibility or long-term positioning. When a name aligns with branding and market perception, it can carry more weight than any marketing campaign.” - Alan Carr, creative director at Webpop Design

Renewal pricing and long-term costs
This is where the real cost of a domain shows up. Wix discounts the first year on most extensions, and the renewal is usually higher, sometimes several times higher. A .com registered at $7.90 renews at $21.35. A .org at $6.90 renews at $22.90. An .online at $6.90 renews at $40.90.
A few extensions barely move. A .co.uk goes from $4.90 to $7.90, and .xyz renews at $23.82 after a first year of well under a dollar. The safe assumption is that year two costs more than year one, so budget on the renewal figure rather than the headline price.
Domains renew automatically 30 days before expiry unless you turn that off, and email reminders go out beforehand so there is time to update a card or change the term.
Registering for several years at once locks in your name and saves you managing it annually. Wix allows up to ten years, though two to three years tends to be the sweet spot between commitment and flexibility.
If a domain does expire, there is normally a 30 day grace period to reclaim it before it returns to the open market, and a late fee may apply.
