Can You Transfer or Move a Domain from Squarespace to Wix?
If you can maintain the rule of domain transfer, then you can move that name from one domain registrar to another registrar. By using the code verification system, you can easily switch your domain to Wix.
After that transfer, Squarespace DNS records or DNS settings for that domain will be changed.
How to do that?
Okay, now I am telling you the transfer process step by step.
How do You Transfer the Domain Name from Squarespace to Wix
If your current domain does not have an “active sixty-day lock period”, you may be able to move it to Wix or another domain registrar. This lock problem happens at the time of new domain registration.
✈️ Step 1: Unlock the domain name from the domain panel of your current registrar (squarespace).
✈️ Step 2: Request an authorization code for that name. You will get an authorization code from your domain-registered mail address. If you cannot understand, you may contact the Squarespace support team for help.
✈️ Step 3: Check that the DNSSEC of the domain of the current registrar is disabled. If you cannot understand this issue, you may contact the Squarespace support team.
✈️ Step 4: Now go to Wix and be ready for transfer.
✈️ Step 5: Click the “start transfer” option.
✈️ Step 6: Enter the selected domain name that you want to move.
✈️ Step 7: Select the current registrar name where you purchased this name.
✈️ Step 8: Submit the authorization code for this name.
✈️ Step 9: Update the information if you want.
✈️ Step 10: Check the privacy option and whether all the settings are okay or not. If all is well, then you can click the “submit purchase” option.
For more details about this transfer process, you can read these Wix guidelines.
N.B.: The total process may take up to seven days and contact the support team if required.

Can You Transfer Website Posts from WordPress to Wix?
Yes, you can switch all the posts on a WordPress website to the Wix platform. If you want to know how to transfer, then you may read this article where I have shared step-by-step guidelines about this.
My Viewpoint
In summary, I want to say that if you select the Wix website, then you may create your website here. You can also move your domain name from any registrar to the Wix platform.
If you already know how to move this name to another registrar, then it’s okay, but if you don’t have any experience, then you can read this blog post (step-by-step guidelines included).
If you have a running website that has a large number of visitors, then you need to read some important notes before moving the domain name.
Try to move this type of name quickly so that your website doesn’t face any problems with this moving issue. Though moving a domain is not a mandatory issue for a website, you need to be careful about this.
However, transferring a website from one hosting place to another may cause some problems with your website. So before moving your website to another hosting company, you should read the specific guidelines.
My suggestion is to try to host your website with a reliable hosting company like Hostinger for a long time. If you can do that, you don’t need to move your site to another hosting company.
If you are a newbie, you have a website, and you are thinking that you need to change hosting, then I think you should choose a better hosting plan.
After selecting a reliable plan, you don’t need to move to your website in the future. If you have not received organic traffic and you are thinking of moving your site to another hosting provider, then my suggestion is that you also need to focus on SEO guidelines for your website.
If you don’t have enough time, you can use an SEO tool like Semrush to audit your website to find problems. To get more information about this platform (Wix), you may read the FAQ section.
