  I have a website I’ve been working on in GoDaddy since 2017 and am no longer happy with their service. I would love to transfer the whole website to WordPress not just the domain but I wouldn’t have a clue how to begin.

  Could you please help me?

  Kindest regards

  Hi,

  We’d be happy to talk to you about that. However, a bit more information will be helpful as far as letting you know what is possible.

  Was the site built with WordPress software and hosted with GoDaddy? Or was it built with GoDaddy’s site building tools (or another site builder)?

  Hi rootjosh,

  It was built with GoDaddy’s site building tools.

  I don’t think I can add WordPress to Godaddy…or am I wrong?

  Hi there,

  Since the GoDaddy builder isn’t compatible with WordPress, we’ve put together a guide to help you move your content here. You can find the guide here:

  Have a read, and let us know if you need more help.
