Wix Vs. WordPress (2022 Comparison) – Forbes Advisor INDIA

Wix offers its service for a certain price, and also has a free option. You can test drive and get acquainted with designing tools. The website builder on WordPress.org is free, but you will need a hosting company so that your website has a place to “live.” Depending on how long you commit to the host, you can sometimes find one starting from INR 160 per month. In Forbes Advisor’s analysis of the best WordPress hosting services, we found DreamHost and HostGator to be two of the best options.

Both Wix and WordPress have drag-and-drop features, so you don’t need any special coding to get the desired look and feel of your site. However, if you want more customization, WordPress.org is your best option because you can freely code with HTML. While Wix does allow you to insert HTML, it’s rather clunky.

With Wix, you get between 3 GB and 50 GB of storage. The storage available under WordPress.org depends on your underlying host company, but 50 GB is typical. Both companies also have free themes or templates, and plug-ins. Wix refers to plug-ins as apps. A paid plan with Wix will get you a free secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate and a custom domain, whereas WordPress.org will depend on your host, but hosts typically provide this free.
