Change domain hosting back to WordPress
-
Hello, you recently helped me transfer the hosting of my domain to Wix.com. I would like to reverse that and have it back to WordPress where I have decided to have my companies website. Please can you confirm how I do this and what the time delays are likely to be (if any). Thanks!

Hi there,
We can surely help you with this. As you may know, you would have to select a new theme from WordPress.com because themes from Wix cannot be imported, but the process is pretty straightforward. Our support page provides step-by-step instructions on how to transfer your site content:
For instructions on how to transfer your domain away from Wix and to WordPress.com, please visit Wix support page:
https://support.wix.com/en/article/transferring-your-wix-domain-away-from-wix-2477749
As well as WordPress.com’s support page on incoming domain transfers:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
In terms of turnaround, it can take upwards of 5 days for the domain transfer process to finish.
Please take a look at the support page and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Hi sorry i dont think i was very clear.
so i bought the domain via word press – you then told me how to point the domain towards Wix which i did.
I now want to undo that and have it back at wordpress, as i originally had it when i bought it.
please can you advise on that?
Thanks

You just need to update the domain’s nameservers to point back to WordPress.com. These instructions should help:
