Hi all,

So I'll be making a website for personal reasons and I just bought the domain yesterday, now I do not know what to do.

 

So I saw that I have to buy this "web hosting" package (let's say I buy it from Namecheap), how can I transfer it to Wix.com?  Does "web hosting" mean that they'll have all the storage and they'll give me all the templates for my website or do I transfer the package to wix.com so then I can start making the website? I am a little confused here.

 

Thanks in advanced

So, if I understand you correctly, you want to use Wix's website builder, and you don't want to get into hardcoding HTML and so on?

Using Wix, I think you'll have to subscribe to Wix hosting. That means you need to get one of the Wix subscriptions, then transfer your domain to Wix.

It also looks like there may be other possibilities as well, please check out Wix's FAQ on domains:

Another solution is to use the website builder software which comes with the hosting service you already bought (Namecheap?).

You'll have to pay to transfer your domain to wix.com. Not sure how much it costs.
