Thanks. Yeah, that’s good to know that there’s nothing shady going on with the domains. It does seem very inexpensive when you factor in the domain and hosting, so I was curious if there’s any drawbacks.
Wix doesn't let you move your files.
But cost wise, $20 a month is nothing. The first time they run into a WordPress security, theme, or extension issue, they'll spend more than a year's worth of Wix hosting to hire a dev to fix it.
That's skeezy behaviour on Wix's part.
BUT
hope you're not using your web host as the only copy of "your files". You should never _need_ to "move your files" away from Wix.
Editing in Wix is kinda like Dreamweaver was in the old days, a bunch of WYSIWYG widgets and building blocks you drag around on a virtual canvas.
If they wanted to, they could probably offer a static HTML export of the rendered pages, but as far as I know, they don't.
Oh and Wix has top notch SECURITY!
