  Hello.
  My website is currently being hosted by and built using GoDaddy’s website builder. Can the whole site be transferred over to WP or do I have to recreate it in WP?
  Thanks,
  Jason

  Hi Jason,

  If you used GoDaddy’s own website builder, I’m afraid you’ll have to recreate it on our end, as GoDaddy doesn’t offer an export option for those sites at this time.

  To create your site, go to https://wordpress.com/start/site/, follow the steps to create a new site, and select a theme. Then you can follow this process to copy over any content you’ve already created on the GoDaddy site:

  If you have a domain at GoDaddy that you also want to bring over, that will require one of our paid plans. You can then either keep the domain registered with them and just connected it here, or you can transfer the domain to us completely.

  Let me know if you have any other questions about this.
