  I have a site hosted by GoDaddy, which I administer via WordPress. I intend to not use the site for a long period. I am discontinuing the hosting, which will result in the site’s demise. I want to backup the WordPress files to my laptop so I can resuscitate the site in the future. How do I do the backup?

  Hi there,

  Here is general information about backing up your WordPress site:

  https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/#backing-up-your-wordpress-site

  However, I checked your site and it appears you’re in the wrong forum. Your site is using the open source WordPress.org software and you need to seek help at these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. Since we do not have access to self-hosted WordPress.org sites, we are unable to provide any direct assistance to your issue. I would reach out to your site host for help.

  If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org you can read this document:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Thanks!
