Hi! I am not proficient with website building and need a really broken down dummy’s guide to the problem I’m having.
Basically, I started a website (I’m an author and artist) about a year and a half ago through GoDaddy. It’s a ‘managed wordpress’ website and my domain is also with GoDaddy. However, for what I use the website for (promotion of books and the occassional blog entry), it’s absolutely costing me a fortune and I don’t use half of the features I’m paying for.
What I would really like to do is transfer this site and the domain name over to WordPress so I can pay for one of their cheaper plans but I don’t want to lose anything that I’ve already created on my website – I really want to keep it all exactly the same! I’ve read various articles saying that there are ways to do this but I haven’t found a particularly easy (or, at least, easily explained) way of doing this.
I would be so grateful for any help you can possibly give me! My GoDaddy renews again in July and I simply cannot afford it but don’t want to get rid of my website – it’s taken a lot of work!
