How much time do I need for the guided transfer?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi –
    I have a WordPress.com blog and have purchased the domain name from Godaddy.
    I want to change this, so that GoDaddy hosts the website, with the use of WordPress.org software.
    I plan to purchase the Guided Transfer from WordPress.com. The current status expires on March 1. Does this give me enough time? And how can I talk to an actual WordPress.com employee to find this out? Should I just buy the Transfer? Supposedly they will contact me.
    Either way, what are the steps that I need to take? Do I need to buy something from Godaddy first? If so, what is the product I need to purchase?
    Thank you.

  • The mapping you currently have won’t affect your transfer, you just need to direct the name servers through GoDaddy to the name servers of your hosting account.

    If you purchase a Guided Transfer, we’ll take care of almost everything for you.

    Hi –
    Sorry, I am not a technical person and don’t understand what you mean.
    Can you let me know how much time I need for it? If I buy the Guided Transfer today, will that be enough?
    Also, do I need to buy something from GoDaddy first? Or after I buy the Guided Transfer? And what do I buy?
    Thank you!

  • You can purchase it at any time, your domain mapping’s expiration on March 1 won’t affect it.

    If you purchase the Guided Transfer, we’ll walk you through everything, you don’t need to do anything first.
