Will you have rights to your website?WIX Websites: When creating a site with Wix, you won't own our website. You won't own your design. You're simply one of thousands of subscribers to the Wix platform, which you are granted a revocable license to you. In fact, Wix makes you agree to all of this upon signing up for its services. GoDaddy Websites: If you have a website or other content hosted by GoDaddy, you shall retain all of your ownership or licensed rights in User Content. Do you own the domain on GoDaddy? Domain name registration is the process of finding a web address (like GoDaddy.com or LilysBikes.com), and then signing up to use it. You technically don't own the domain, but once you've registered it, it's yours to use for as long as you continue paying the annual registration fee. Do I own my WordPress website? All the content you share on your self-hosted site is owned by you, as well as all the rights. This means WordPress cannot reshare your content anywhere. Site owners can also sell ad space on their websites with WordPress.org, whereas you can't with WordPress.com (unless using WordAds).
