Connecting site to Godaddy hosting and purchased domain

    I’m trying to migrate my site built on WordPress over to my GoDadd managed WordPress hosting, where I also purchased a domain (sarahwillwrite). They sent me the guide on how to migrate websites, but it’s not recognizing my credentials; the login doesn’t work and I don’t have the alternatives. What is going on here? Shouldn’t knowing the site and having the user name and password be enough? (It says it’s not recognized). Thanks so much. -Sarah Reida (Schauerte)

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    It appears that you have a self-hosted WordPress site powered by the open-source software from WordPress.org. It’s important to note that WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites are two different things.

    While WordPress.com is a managed hosting platform that offers in-house support and additional features, self-hosted WordPress sites are based on the do-it-yourself version of the software and do not come with the same level of support. For help with your self-hosted site, you may want to check out the forums available at WordPress.org, where you can find assistance from the community: https://wordpress.org/support/

    That said, if you’re interested in enjoying the performance and stability benefits of our managed hosting, as well as access to our in-house support and live chat option, we’d be more than happy to welcome you to WordPress.com! To make the transition as smooth as possible, we’ve created a step-by-step guide on how to migrate your existing site to our platform: https://wordpress.com/support/import-using-move-to-wordpress-com/

    By moving to WordPress.com, you’ll not only gain access to our dedicated support team but also a wide range of features and tools designed to enhance your website’s performance. We’d love to have you on board and help you with any issues you encounter.

    If you have any questions about migrating to WordPress.com or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us. We’re always here to help!
