  currently we are hosted through godaddy, as well as receiving our business email and the domain through them, but were looking to use wordpress to build and back up the site locally so we can import it, is there a way to create and download the site?

  Hello. I don’t believe there is a way to backup and migrate a WordPress.com website/blog. however, you can set up a fresh wordpress.org install on Godaddy then export your content from your blog. You can find a step by step walkthrough here.

  I hope that helps.

  Hi there,

  Are you looking to build your site locally using the open source WordPress.org software and then transfer it to WordPress.com? If that’s the case these are the instructions you need to follow:
