Its better to be ripped off by a friend, because you may find him someday, but when its an internet based rip off like the so called free website builder called wix.com, what are you going to do? Bust a caps lock on them?. I prepared a free website from Wix.com. Wix.com asked for 24.95 $ for domain name transportation cost and I paid for it. But then I couldnt use the domain name. Couldn't view the site. Wix.com workers further gave me reasons that I should also buy a Premium package to use my domain name which I already paid 14.95 $ at first. They made me pay 24.95 $ and they wont pay it back after asking as the site states that i am liable to a refund in the first 14days. First they fool you by saying that their service is free but then force you to buy a Premium package. The explanations are inadequate and the postpurchase service is very awful. And the guys will be dancing in church on sunday.
Hi Tiobong U.,
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Building a site with Wix is completely free. We do offer a number of premium plans which give our users access to additional features such as connecting a domain name, removing Wix ads and additional storage and bandwidth.
As we mention in the domain transfer page, a premium plan is needed to connect a Wix site to your domain. I'm sorry to hear of the frustration this has caused you. Please contact us at premium@wix.com and we'll see how we can provide further assistance.
