If you’re looking to move your WordPress site to GoDaddy, there are a few things you’ll need to do before hand. First, you’ll need to create a new account with GoDaddy.

Once you have an account, you’ll need to login and click on the “Account” tab. From here, you’ll need to select the “Domains” tab and click on the “Create Domain” button. .

Once you’ve created your domain, you’ll need to create a new WordPress site. To do this, you’ll first need to login to your WordPress site and click on the “Site” menu option.

From here, you’ll need to select the “Add a new site” option.

Next, you’ll need to enter your domain name and click on the “Next” button. From here, you’ll need to select the “WordPress” platform and click on the “Next” button.

Once you’ve completed the aforementioned steps, you’ll need to click on the “Create Site” button to create your new WordPress site. After you’ve created your site, you’ll need to copy the WordPress content into the new GoDaddy site.

To do this, you’ll first need to login to your WordPress site and click on the “Posts” menu option. From here, you’ll need to select the “Post” option and then click on the “Copy Post” button.

After you’ve copied the post, you’ll need to click on the “GoDaddy” menu option and select the “Upload” option. From here, you’ll need to paste the copied post into the “Upload” field and click on the “Upload” button.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring your WordPress site to GoDaddy, we advise you to proceed with caution. There have been reports of sites losing data or experiencing other problems after making the switch. Be sure to back up your site before beginning the transfer process, and if possible, test the transfer on a staging site first.

Finally, you’ll need to click on the “Cities” menu option and select the “Create a new City” option. From here, you’ll need to enter the name of your new city and click on the “Create” button.

After you’ve created your new city, you’ll need to click on the “General” menu option and select the “Domains” option. From here, you’ll need to select the “Your Domain Name” option and click on the “Add” button.

After you’ve added your domain, you’ll need to click on the “Settings” menu option and select the “General” option. From here, you’ll need to click on the “SSL” tab and click on the “Activate” button.

Finally, you’ll need to click on the “Advanced” menu option and select the “Security” tab. From here, you’ll need to click on the “SSL” button and enter the “SSL Certificate Info” information.

After you’ve completed the aforementioned steps, your WordPress site will be ready to be transferred to GoDaddy. To do this, you’ll first need to sign in to your GoDaddy account and click on the “Site Settings” option.

From here, you’ll need to select the “Domains” tab and click on the “Transfer” button.

After you’ve transferred your WordPress site, you’ll need to click on the “Congratulations” button and then click on the “Close” button. Finally, you’ll need to click on the “Back to Domains” button and select the “Your Domain Name” option.

After you’ve clicked on the “Your Domain Name” option, you’ll need to select the “WordPress” content from the transferred site and click on the “Upload” button. After you’ve uploaded the content, you’ll need to click on the “Close” button and then click on the “Back to Domains” button.
