I was making a portfolio website for my post-production work with Wix, and decided it was time to go premium, get a domain and launch it. I got the $14 per month entrepeneur plan, which apparently lets you register a domain for free.
Spoiler Alert: IT DIDN'T DO THAT. Instead it gave me a voucher for just the first year of having the domain. But that's not the worst part.
The worst part is I was willing to deal with paying the extra amount for the domain per year, but then, these guys have the audacity to charge me $10 for private registration. This meant that if I chose not to pay the $10, all my personal info given to them, including my home address, would be published.
That is disgusting. Absolutely abysmal. I have way stronger words I want to use but I don't want to use thme on a public forum like this.
I immediately cancelled my plan at that point, as I wasn't going to use a service that forced people to PAY MONEY TO NOT HAVE THEIR PRIVATE INFORMATION LEAKED. I was told Wix was pretty bad, but this was worse than I was expecting. I encourage everyone to look elsewhere to host their site, preferrably a platform that values everyone's privacy, not just the ones who are willing to pay extra for it.
I should be getting a refund in 20 days max according to the email I got. If I don't I will update this report.
