It's extremely expensive. At $17 or $21 a month which works out to $250 a year you could go to a million other places. For $5 dollars a month wordpress will include a domain and 6 gigs. Hostinger is $2.99 with domain.
Wix doesn't let you move your files.
- solardev 2y agoGood point about the files. Wix is a walled garden. But cost wise, $20 a month is nothing. The first time they run into a WordPress security, theme, or extension issue, they'll spend more than a year's worth of Wix hosting to hire a dev to fix it.
- bigiain 2y ago> Wix doesn't let you move your files. That's skeezy behaviour on Wix's part. BUT hope you're not using your web host as the only copy of "your files". You should never _need_ to "move your files" away from Wix.
- Leprowix 2y agoThats fake news you CAN move away from wix for one and second of all in terms of cost it is pricier than other platforms but they have sooo many integrations that you would end up buying plugins for anyways on wordpress… Oh and Wix has top notch SECURITY!
- solardev 2y agoWell, Wix isn't really file-based (to the user's eye). They're probably just a bunch of entries in a database. It's more that Wix doesn't offer any sort of easy export to a standard format. Editing in Wix is kinda like Dreamweaver was in the old days, a bunch of WYSIWYG widgets and building blocks you drag around on a virtual canvas. If they wanted to, they could probably offer a static HTML export of the rendered pages, but as far as I know, they don't.
