Wix.com will stop providing services to Russian users on September 12, 2024, blocking all accounts and taking down websites to adhere to new regulations. This affects free and premium users in Russia. Impacted users are advised to transfer their domain or apply for an exemption if they reside in Russia but are not Russian residents.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes regarding Wix.com’s decision to stop providing services to Russian users:
– Wix.com announced it will stop providing services to Russian users on September 12, 2024, due to new regulations.
– All accounts from Russia, including free and premium, will be blocked, and their websites will be taken down.
– Impacted users are advised to transfer their domain to another registrar or hosting provider by the deadline, as after this date it will no longer be possible.
– Russian residents can apply for an exemption by submitting proof of non-residency, but the review process will take a few working days, which may surpass the deadline for website migration.
Wix’s decision to block Russian users and delete all accounts, including those of paying users, aligns with a similar action taken by Notion due to U.S-government restrictions on software service providers.
