Transferring from Wix
-
Hello,
If I transfer my domain from Wix to WordPress, will this interrupt any emails coming through my email that is tied to the domain?
Thank you

Hi there!
Yes, you would lose your current email mailbox setup by moving your domain here. This is common with any hosting; email mailboxes don’t transfer like a domain transfer.
You would need to reconfigure your email once you move your domain by adding email service to your account. You can see your options here:

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hello Jonathan,
It’s possible to transfer the site over as per these instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-wix/
The domain would be the second action that needs carrying out and this would be done as per: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
For the email, these can be re-added and we can help apply those DNS settings – this would be done post-import.
I’d recommend making a note of the required DNS settings required to make the email work.
I hope this helps.
