About Wix
Who Wix are
Wix is a website builder with a drag-and-drop editor, a template library and an App Market covering bookings, menus and more. Its Core plan is around £16/mo. Sites are built and hosted inside the Wix platform.
If you want fixed UK pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard, here is why teams move to G7Cloud.
The case for switching
Why people leave Wix for G7Cloud
Fixed pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard. Here is what changes when you move.
Wix sites cannot leave Wix
There is no way to export a Wix site’s code and host it elsewhere. The site exists only inside their platform, for as long as you subscribe. The G7Cloud AI Website Builder generates code and a Postgres database you own. Browse it, export it, take it anywhere.
Describe it instead of dragging it
On Wix you assemble a site widget by widget. On G7Cloud you describe what you want and the AI builds it. Then you click any element to edit it visually, with per-turn checkpoints so every change can be undone. Importing your brand kit from an existing site takes one URL.
Database-backed features
Shops with stock and discount codes, booking systems, CMS blogs, admin panels the owner logs into: the builder ships full-stack applications with their own Postgres database, not widgets on a page. Blueprints cover shops, bookings, CMS, restaurants, real estate and events.
A hosting platform underneath
A published G7Cloud site sits on the same managed UK platform as everything else we run: dedicated container, free SSL, ScaleShield firewall and bot protection, daily restore-tested backups on paid plans, email and DNS hosting included from £12/mo. Wix business email is a paid third-party arrangement.
Start free, no card
The Free plan is free forever: 1 builder project published to yoursite.sites.g7cloud.com, no card, no trial countdown. Move to Starter (£12/mo) when you want your own domain.
G7Cloud vs Wix, side by side
What you get on each plan, side by side.
Wix Core is around £16/mo. G7Cloud starts free (builder subdomain) and Starter is £12/mo with a custom domain, email and DNS included.
Fixed prices, one ladder
What switching actually costs

Moving from Wix
We move you. Free. You approve every step.
Wix does not allow code export, so we rebuild instead of copy, and the AI makes that fast: give the builder your existing site’s URL and it imports your brand kit (colours, fonts, logo, tone), then generates the new site for you to refine. Our team helps you move your domain and set up email, free. Your Wix site stays live until you are ready.
- Assisted by our team: we do it with you, not to you
- Preview everything on a temporary URL before anything switches
- Your old site stays live until you approve the cutover
- 30-day money-back guarantee if it does not work out
