Transfer Wix Site to Infinity Free

[AuthorJamesFlynn]

Hello everyone.

I want to transfer my Wix website to Infinity Free. I’m aware that Wix allows you to download your website somehow, but this is all new to me. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I’m aware that Wix allows you to download your website somehow

I checked and I’m not so sure about that.

The documentation of Wix, both here and here, say that exporting the entire site or individual pages is not possible, but also say “it’s just HTML”, which would imply it does work. But this external article says it may be possible, despite all screenshots in their article showing it’s not possible.

If all of that fails, then cloning the site with a tool like HTTrack may be an option.

In any case, at the end of it, you should end up with a folder or archive that contains the generated files of your website, like HTML, CSS and images. You can upload those files to our hosting using FTP:

How to upload files with FTP

The best and most reliable way to upload files is to use FTP. To upload files with FTP, you will need to following: Your FTP username Your FTP password The FTP hostname An FTP client You can find your FTP username, password and hostname in the client area under the FTP Details section. The FTP password is the same as your hosting account and control panel password, which is different from the password for the client area. If you like videos better then text guides, you can find one at the bot…

However, I do urge you to think about how you will manage your site going forward. I assume the exported site will just be the generated website code. But you will no longer be able to manage the content with Wix (unless you plan to keep your Wix site and do the export dance every time you want to publish changes), which means you’ll probably need to use some other tool to make changes to your site.

You may have an easier time by picking a new tool to manage your website and migrate the content by hand than try to import the Wix site into another tool.
