Over time, the cracks show. You outgrow the closed editor, want more plugin&nbsp;options&nbsp;or need one place to manage hosting, domains,&nbsp;email&nbsp;and security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving from Wix to Bluehost is different from moving between two traditional hosting providers.&nbsp;You cannot export your Wix site files and upload them to Bluehost.&nbsp;Wix&#8217;s SaaS architecture runs on proprietary infrastructure that only&nbsp;operates&nbsp;on Wix servers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That does not mean you cannot make the move. It means the migration needs the right plan. You will rebuild your website as a WordPress site on Bluehost, move the content and assets you want to keep, preserve your SEO&nbsp;details&nbsp;and switch your domain when the&nbsp;new version&nbsp;is ready.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide covers every step: what to document before you start, which method fits your setup and how to test the new site before you make the final switch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to rebuild your Wix site with WordPress on Bluehost?

The editor, hosting environment and site structure are tied together inside Wix.

The goal is to collect everything you need before you start rebuilding, so your Wix site can stay live while you prepare the WordPress version on Bluehost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Map your Wix site:<\/strong>\u00a0Create a list of every page on your Wix site, including the homepage, service pages, contact\u00a0page, blog posts, landing\u00a0pages\u00a0and legal pages.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Record your current URLs:<\/strong>\u00a0Save the full URL for each important page, especially pages that receive traffic,\u00a0backlinks\u00a0or paid campaign visits.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Copy your page content:<\/strong>\u00a0Save your headlines, body copy, calls to action, testimonials,\u00a0FAQs\u00a0and footer content in a working document.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Download your media assets:<\/strong>\u00a0Save logos, images, PDFs, icons,\u00a0videos\u00a0and downloadable files that you want to reuse on the Bluehost site.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Capture SEO settings:<\/strong>\u00a0Record title tags, meta descriptions, URL slugs, image alt\u00a0text\u00a0and any redirects already set up in Wix.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check forms and apps:<\/strong>\u00a0List your contact forms, booking tools, payment tools, chat tools, analytics tags,\u00a0pixels\u00a0and third-party integrations.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Confirm your domain setup:<\/strong>\u00a0Check whether your domain was\u00a0purchased\u00a0through Wix or another registrar, since that affects your launch steps.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check\u00a0your email records:<\/strong>\u00a0Save MX, TXT, SPF and DKIM records before changing DNS, especially if you use business email on your domain.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set up your Bluehost hosting account:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/wordpress-hosting\">Bluehost\u00a0WordPress\u00a0hosting<\/a>\u00a0plan and decide whether you will rebuild with WordPress and\u00a0WonderSuite\u00a0or request paid migration help where eligible.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these items ready, the migration becomes easier to manage.

If your site is built entirely&nbsp;on&nbsp;Wix, start with Method 1. If you have an eligible WordPress site, source hosting&nbsp;access&nbsp;or a setup that Bluehost can transfer, consider Method 2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-1-rebuild-your-wix-site-with-wordpress-and-wondersuite-on-bluehost\">Method 1: Rebuild your Wix site with WordPress and\u00a0WonderSuite\u00a0on Bluehost\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is the right fit for most Wix-built websites. Since Wix does not provide the full site files and database in a format you can host elsewhere, the practical path is to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/how-to-easily-create-wordpress-website\/\">rebuild your site as a WordPress website<\/a>\u00a0on Bluehost.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WonderSuite\u00a0can help with this process. It is our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/introducing-bluehost-wondersuite\/\">WordPress website creator<\/a>\u00a0that lets you set up and customize a WordPress site with a more guided experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-sign-up-for-bluehost-hosting\">Step 1: Sign up for Bluehost hosting\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a Bluehost hosting plan that fits your&nbsp;website&nbsp;goals. A simple business website may need a different setup than a growing blog or WooCommerce store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-set-up-wordpress\">Step 2: Set up WordPress\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Create your WordPress website in your Bluehost account. Keep the site private or in preview mode while you rebuild.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-start-with-wondersuite\">Step 3: Start with\u00a0WonderSuite\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;WonderSuite&nbsp;to guide the WordPress website creation process. This helps you create the foundation for your new site before you move over Wix content,&nbsp;images&nbsp;and SEO details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-choose-a-wordpress-layout\">Step 4: Choose a WordPress layout\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Select a theme or&nbsp;WonderTheme&nbsp;layout that fits your business. The new site does not need to copy Wix exactly, but it should make key pages easy for visitors to find.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-recreate-your-main-pages\">Step 5: Recreate your main pages\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with your homepage,&nbsp;about page, services pages, contact&nbsp;page&nbsp;and any pages that generate leads or sales. Use your Wix page map so nothing important gets missed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-build-pages-with-reusable-sections\">Step 6: Build pages with reusable sections\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;WonderBlocks&nbsp;to add sections for your hero area, services, testimonials, FAQs, contact details and calls to action. Keep each page focused on what visitors need to do next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-7-move-your-content-and-media\">Step 7: Move your content and media\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Paste your saved Wix copy into the new WordPress pages. Upload images, logos,&nbsp;PDFs&nbsp;and other files to the WordPress media library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-8-recreate-forms-and-conversion-paths\">Step 8: Recreate forms and conversion paths\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/create-contact-form-wordpress-guide\/\">Add contact forms<\/a>, quote request forms, newsletter signups, booking links or checkout paths. Test each one before launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-9-recreate-store-elements-if-needed\">Step 9: Recreate store elements if needed\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sell online, rebuild your store on WordPress with the right eCommerce setup for your business. Recreate products, categories, offers, cart&nbsp;settings&nbsp;and key store pages carefully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-10-add-seo-details\">Step 10: Add SEO details\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Add page titles, meta descriptions, headings, image alt&nbsp;text&nbsp;and URL slugs. Keep&nbsp;URLs&nbsp;the same&nbsp;where&nbsp;possible. If URLs change, plan redirects from old Wix URLs to the closest matching WordPress pages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-11-preview-the-new-site\">Step 11: Preview the new site\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Review the WordPress site on desktop and mobile. Check page layouts, menus, images, forms, links and calls to action before you move the domain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a standard Wix-built site, you usually will not have the file, database or hosting control panel access required for a traditional transfer. In that case, use Method 1 and rebuild the site as a WordPress website on Bluehost. Use Method 2 only if our migration team confirms your source setup qualifies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-2-use-bluehost-paid-website-migration-services-where-eligible\">Method 2: Use Bluehost paid Website Migration Services where eligible\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: This service applies strictly to eligible, portable website frameworks (such as a site already running on self-hosted WordPress elsewhere). Because standard Wix sites do not grant root database or control panel access (cPanel\/FTP), most Wix users will need to&nbsp;utilize&nbsp;the Method 1 rebuild path.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our paid Website Migration Service includes transferring one website\u2019s files and databases to a new hosting plan. This process also requires an active Bluehost hosting plan, access to the source hosting control panel such as cPanel, SSH or FTP&nbsp;credentials&nbsp;and&nbsp;complete backups through Dropbox or Google Drive if applicable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-confirm-your-site-is-eligible\">Step 1: Confirm your site is eligible\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Check whether your current setup includes access to website files,&nbsp;databases&nbsp;and hosting credentials. A standard Wix site usually does not provide those in the way a traditional WordPress host does.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-set-up-an-active-bluehost-hosting-plan\">Step 2: Set up an active Bluehost hosting plan\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We&nbsp;require&nbsp;an active hosting plan before the paid migration process can move forward. Choose the plan that fits the WordPress site you plan to run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-prepare-access-credentials-and-backups\">Step 3: Prepare access credentials and backups\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Gather your source hosting control panel, SSH or FTP credentials if you have them. Prepare complete backups through Dropbox or Google Drive if they apply to your setup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-request-site-migration-from-the-bluehost-portal\">Step 4: Request Site Migration from the Bluehost portal\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to your Bluehost portal, click Marketplace, find the Migration&nbsp;section&nbsp;and select Site Migration.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-avoid-changes-during-the-transfer\">Step 5: Avoid changes during the transfer\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not update DNS, transfer your domain, close your old&nbsp;account&nbsp;or make website changes while the migration is in progress.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-review-the-migrated-site\">Step 6: Review the migrated site\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After migration, we provide a direct preview&nbsp;URL&nbsp;so you can review the website before making it live on your domain. Check pages, images, forms,&nbsp;menus&nbsp;and WordPress admin access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-7-update-dns-after-the-migration-is-complete\">Step 7: Update DNS after the migration is complete\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We provide the information and steps needed for DNS updates, but the migration team does not usually make DNS changes directly because they may not control your DNS settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wix-to-bluehost-migration-methods-which-should-you-use\">Wix to Bluehost migration methods: which should you use?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Method<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Good fit for<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>What moves<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Important limitation<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WordPress and&nbsp;WonderSuite&nbsp;rebuild on Bluehost&nbsp;<\/td><td>Most Wix-built business sites, blogs, service sites and future WooCommerce stores&nbsp;<\/td><td>Content, images, page structure, SEO settings,&nbsp;forms&nbsp;and store details that you recreate in WordPress&nbsp;<\/td><td>This is a rebuild, not a direct file transfer&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bluehost paid Website Migration Services&nbsp;<\/td><td>Eligible WordPress sites or source setups with files,&nbsp;databases&nbsp;and hosting access&nbsp;<\/td><td>Website files and databases for one eligible site&nbsp;<\/td><td>Standard Wix-built sites usually do not qualify for a direct transfer&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Use WordPress and&nbsp;WonderSuite&nbsp;if your current website was built&nbsp;in&nbsp;Wix. This path gives you the clearest way to recreate your site on Bluehost without promising a direct Wix export.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use paid Website Migration Services if your source setup has the access Bluehost&nbsp;requires&nbsp;and the migration team confirms that your site qualifies. This method is more&nbsp;appropriate for&nbsp;eligible WordPress or traditional hosting transfers than for a standard Wix-built site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-steps-after-the-migration\">Final steps after the migration\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your new WordPress site is now built or migrated&nbsp;on&nbsp;Bluehost. These final steps make it live on your domain and confirm that visitors can use it without issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-point-or-transfer-your-domain\">1. Point or transfer your domain\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have two common options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-option-1-keep-your-domain-at-wix-and-point-it-to-bluehost\">Option 1: Keep your domain at Wix and point it to Bluehost\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;option&nbsp;keeps domain registration at Wix while sending website traffic to your Bluehost site. It can be useful if your domain is not eligible for transfer yet or if you want to move the website before moving the registrar account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-option-2-transfer-your-domain-away-from-wix\">Option 2: Transfer your domain away from Wix\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before transferring a Wix-registered domain, confirm that the domain is unlocked and not under a recent registration,&nbsp;transfer&nbsp;or contact-change restriction. Wix\u2019s domain transfer documentation notes that domains&nbsp;generally cannot&nbsp;be transferred within&nbsp;60 days&nbsp;of purchase, after changing registrant contact information or after another recent transfer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To transfer a Wix domain away from Wix:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to Domains in your Wix account.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click the Domain Actions icon next to the relevant domain.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select Transfer away from Wix.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Review the transfer information.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Request the authorization code.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the authorization code to continue the transfer with your new domain provider.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-test-the-bluehost-site\">2.

Keep Wix active until launch is confirmed\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not cancel your Wix plan&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;after building the Bluehost site. Keep Wix active until the new WordPress site is live, DNS has updated,&nbsp;forms&nbsp;work, email works and your most important pages have been checked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canceling too early can create avoidable gaps, especially if you need to copy a missed image, recover content or confirm an old page URL.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final thoughts\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching from Wix to Bluehost is the practical path for site owners who have grown past what a closed website builder can offer.&nbsp;Wix keeps its website builder and hosting environment tied to its own platform, so the right approach is to recreate your site as a WordPress website on Bluehost and move the pieces that matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clear page map, saved content, downloaded images, recorded SEO&nbsp;details&nbsp;and tested domain settings make the process easier. Once your new WordPress site is ready, you can point or transfer your domain and continue&nbsp;building from&nbsp;a platform designed to help your business build,&nbsp;grow&nbsp;and run online with confidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to rebuild your Wix site with WordPress on Bluehost?

Wix states that sites built on its platform need to run on Wix servers because Wix\u2019s SaaS architecture uses proprietary technology and relies on Wix services to\u00a0operate.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272736548\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I migrate from Wix to WordPress on Bluehost?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can migrate from Wix to WordPress on Bluehost by rebuilding the site in WordPress. You will recreate the pages, move content and images, add SEO\u00a0details\u00a0and switch the domain when the new site is ready.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272748981\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Bluehost paid Website Migration Services\u00a0move\u00a0my Wix site?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Usually, not as a direct transfer. Our paid Website Migration Services are designed to move eligible websites with files and databases, and they\u00a0require\u00a0source hosting access such as cPanel, SSH or FTP credentials. Standard Wix-built sites usually do not provide that kind of\u00a0transfer\u00a0access, so most Wix users should rebuild as a WordPress site on Bluehost.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272762961\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How much does Bluehost paid Website Migration Service cost?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Our paid Website Migration Service costs $149.99 per website migration. It covers one website, and email is not included.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272773743\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I transfer my domain from Wix to Bluehost?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes!\u00a0Transferring your domain can simplify management because your domain settings, billing and renewal payments move to the new provider\u2019s account. Wix notes that some domains cannot transfer during ICANN\u2019s 60-day lock period, so check your domain status before starting.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272783086\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will my Wix site stay live during migration?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, your Wix site can stay live while you\u00a0rebuild on\u00a0Bluehost. The public switch happens when you point or transfer your domain to the new WordPress site on Bluehost.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272791842\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does a Wix to Bluehost migration take?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A small business site may take a few hours to rebuild if you have content and images ready. A larger site, online store or SEO-sensitive site may take longer because pages, redirects, products,\u00a0forms\u00a0and integrations need careful review. For eligible paid Website Migration Services, standard migrations take 2 to 4 business days depending on complexity and site size.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779272800776\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should I do before\u00a0canceling\u00a0Wix?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Confirm that your Bluehost WordPress site is live,\u00a0forms\u00a0work, email works, redirects are in place, SSL is active and\u00a0all important\u00a0content has\u00a0moved.
