Add Your Own Domain to Wix for Free (Without the Wix Premium Plan)
Wix requires a premium plan for custom domains. Use Edgely as a reverse proxy to serve your Wix site on any domain you own — completely free.
TL;DR — Quick Answer
You can serve your Wix site on your own domain for free by using Edgely to proxy requests. Point your DNS CNAME at Edgely, enter your Wix.com URL as the target, and your custom domain goes live in minutes.
Wix Free Plan and Custom Domains
Wix's free plan gives you a username.wixsite.com/sitename URL with a Wix ad banner. Custom domains require a "Combo" plan or higher, starting at $16/month. [1]
With Edgely you can proxy your Wix site to a custom domain for free — though you'll still see the Wix ad banner unless you upgrade Wix.
Setup
1. Publish your Wix site
In Wix click Publish. Your site becomes available at your wixsite.com URL.
2. Add to Edgely
Sign up at xedgely.com. Click Add Domain and enter:
- Custom Domain:
www.yourbrand.com - Target URL: your full
wixsite.comURL
3. CNAME record
Type: CNAME
Host: www
Value: proxy.xedgely.com4. SSL and go live
Edgely provisions SSL automatically once the CNAME resolves. Your Wix site loads on your custom domain.
A Note on the Wix Ad Banner
Wix injects an ad banner on free-plan sites at the server level. This banner is part of the HTML that Edgely proxies, so it will appear on your custom domain too. Upgrade to a Wix paid plan to remove the banner — and keep using Edgely for edge caching and domain flexibility. [2]
Edgely is the fastest way to proxy your Wix project to a custom domain. It provisions a free SSL certificate, syncs routing to Vercel Edge Config for sub-millisecond lookups, and optionally caches responses at the edge — all for free on the starter plan.
Key Takeaways
- Wix custom domains require a paid plan — Edgely proxies wixsite.com URLs to your domain for free.
- The Wix ad banner on free sites still appears when proxied.
- Edge caching on Edgely speeds up Wix sites for global visitors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove the Wix ad banner through Edgely?
No. The Wix ad banner is injected by Wix at the server level before the response reaches Edgely. To remove it you need to upgrade to a paid Wix plan.
Do Wix forms work through Edgely?
Yes. Wix form submissions are handled by Wix's backend, and Edgely passes all cookies and headers through, so forms continue to work.
