Move from WordPress to Us

WordPress.com is a great place to start your blog, but once you outgrow it, you’ll need to move to a hosted WordPress® installation. This has a lot of benefits:
 

  • Use custom themes, and select from a larger library of existing themes
  • Use WordPress’ huge plugin library
  • Advertise on your site through programs like Google AdWords®

Fortunately, Go Daddy has you covered — and with WordPress.com’s new Offsite Redirect feature, you don’t have to worry about it affecting your search engine ranking.
 

After setting up Go Daddy WordPress hosting, you can export your content from WordPress.com, and then import it into your new WordPress hosting.
 

Finally, check out WordPress.com’s new Offsite Redirect feature to make sure your followers never miss a post!

    Can I use my domain already registered at WordPress.com? I have an account at WordPress and my blog at *************.com
    Just signed for the GoDaddy WordPress plan. Can I simply put “**************.com” at the domain field and use it or I have to go over other steps first?
