I need to change my payment plan to just paying for the domain name.  I transferred over to Wix to build my site.

How do I change my plan to only paying for the homestead domain registration, not the website hosting? I transferred to Wix, but still use the domain from homestead.
To switch your billing plan to only pay for domain registration, you need to downgrade your account to Homestead's Domain-Only Hosting package. This costs $14.99 per year and allows you to keep your domain registered with Homestead while pointing it to Wix. [1, 2]
Step 1: Request the Domain-Only Plan
Because completely changing a standard website subscription requires system changes, you cannot self-service this specific downgrade from the dashboard dashboard. [1, 2]
  • Call Homestead Support: Contact them directly at 1-800-710-1998.
  • State your request: Tell the representative that you have moved your website to Wix, and you want to cancel your website builder subscription but downgrade to the Domain-Only package ($14.99/year). [1, 2]
Step 2: Ensure Your Domain is Pointed to Wix
Before you call to cancel the hosting, double-check that your domain is properly mapped so your Wix live site doesn't go down. You can check your nameservers right in your account: [1]
  1. Log into your Homestead account.
  2. Click Domains on the left menu.
  3. Click Manage your Website Domains.
  4. Click Edit your nameservers.
  5. Ensure these fields match the exact Wix Nameservers provided in your Wix dashboard. [1, 2, 3]
Note: If you prefer to stop dealing with Homestead altogether, you also have the option to entirely transfer your domain registration directly to Wix.
