Well that's good news Greg. Just be aware that your site will not be portable to another hosting provider down the track, should you wish to move.

WIX makes very nice website building tools, although I don't know how secure the code is underneath it all.

If you are going to get a payment system in place on the site, *always* get a SSL certificate. Make sure you get a SHA256, at least 2048 bits, preferably 4096. Wildcard SSLs etc are sometimes better value, depending on how you want to employ encrypted data within your site. If you have something like store.domainname.com, I would just recommend getting a single non wildcard SSL for that.

I don't know what server types WIX is running, I'm personally not a fan of Windows based web servers...IIS just plain sucks. You shouldn't have to go that deep through, WIX's front end tools should do the work for you.
