Transfer domain from Wix

Ready to transfer your domain from Wix to JetHost? The steps are simple: start the transfer-away from Wix, get its authorization code, and complete the transfer in your JetHost Client Area. This guide follows the current Wix interface.

Before you start

Under ICANN rules, a domain can only be transferred if:

• It was registered or last transferred more than 60 days ago.
• It is not expired and not too close to its expiry date.
• Your registrant (admin) email at Wix is current, as the authorization code is sent there.

Also check that your domain’s extension (TLD) is one JetHost can register.

Start the transfer-away and get the Auth code

1. Log in to Wix and open your domains dashboard.
2. Click the Show More icon next to the domain and select Transfer Away from Wix, then Transfer Domain.
3. Click I Still Want to Transfer to confirm.
4. Wix emails the authorization (EPP) code to your domain’s registrant contact.

Unlocking happens as part of this flow. The code is case-sensitive, so copy and paste it without extra spaces. For reference, see Wix’s own transfer-away guide.

Complete the transfer at JetHost

If you have not ordered the transfer yet, start it here: order a domain transfer. Enter your domain, add it to the cart, and complete the order.

Once the transfer is ordered, add your authorization code:

1. Log in to your JetHost Client Area.
2. Go to Domains → Manage and open the domain you are transferring.
3. Paste the Authorization (EPP) code and confirm.

Once the code is accepted, the transfer starts automatically. Wix has up to five days to release the domain under ICANN policy, so allow up to a week overall. If it has not completed after seven days, contact our support team to check the status.

Most extensions add a year to your registration when you transfer, so you rarely lose any time already paid for. Your website and email keep running throughout, as long as your DNS records stay the same at JetHost.
