All Wix websites come with a free domain name.

You can edit TWO PARTS of any free domain with Wix.

PART 1: Editing your Wix account name
Step 1. Log into your Wix account.
Step 2. Navigate to your account header.
Step 3. Click on your account name in the top right hand corner.
Step 4. Select ‘Account Settings’.
Step 5. Under ‘Basic Info’ go to ‘Account Name’.
Step 6. Here you can update your account name, which will update the first part of your website address.
Step 7. Once you’re done, click ”Save’.

PART 2A: Editing your Wix individual site name (via ‘My Sites’ page)
Step 1. Navigate to your ‘My Sites’ page, which you can access from the account header.
Step 2. From your ‘My Sites’ page, hover over the site and click the drop down box that appears in the top right hand corner.
Step 3. Click ‘Rename Site’.
Step 4. Here you can change your site’s website address name.

– You can only rename a site if it’s already published
– It has to be all lower-case letters
– And you can include numbers, as well as the hyphen ( – ) symbol in your chosen name.
– It must be 4-20 characters long
– It can’t end in a hyphen ( – )
– Must be unique and can’t be the same as another website you have under the same account

PART 2B: Editing your Wix individual site name (via ‘Dashboard’)
Step 1. Navigate to your ‘My Sites’ page.
Step 2. To access the dashboard, hover over the site and click ‘Select & Edit Site’.
Step 3. At the top of the dashboard, navigate to the drop-down called ‘Site Actions’.
Step 4. Click ‘Rename Site’.
Step 5. Here you can change your site’s website address name.

    Hi while YES this was helpful and very well explained for a beginner, honestly I’m a bit 💔.

    I have my own domain name from Dynadot and can’t connect it to WIX without getting an upgrade. Just have to wait till that works out.

    But this was a really well explained video. I liked the simplicity.

    👍

    Thank youTracey for this clear to follow video.
    I would like please to understand and evaluate the pro and cons of buying a domain name from Namecheap (or other domain providers) before upgrading to the Wix Premium plan.
    While in the first year Wix offer free domain name, the domain name price will then increase every year.
    Do I understand correctly, that by purchasing it from a domain provider, it will be in the long term more cost efficient and portable?

    Thank you dear Tracy, it was really helpful. So as a result, what people search in Google, that phrase should be our site address(URL) but not account name , right?
