How to Transfer WordPress to Bluehost





1. Export your existing WordPress blog to your hard drive. Log in to your WordPress account, scroll down to 'Tools.' Click 'Export.' Click 'Download Export File' to save the .XML file -- in other words, your entire blog -- to your hard drive.
2. Log in to the Bluehost Account Manager, using your domain name and password. Scroll down to the 'Software/Services' pane. Click 'WordPress.'

3. Click 'Install' to begin the process of installing WordPress on your Bluehost domain. Click the drop-down menu under 'Where Would You Like WordPress Installed?' and select the domain -- if you have more than one -- on which you wish to install WordPress, then tick the box to indicate you've read the terms and conditions. Click 'Complete.' Take note of the username and password the process assigns you upon its completion.
4. Log in to WordPress on your domain, which you access by entering your domain URL, then '/wp-admin/' after it. Enter the WordPress username and password with which the sign-up process provided you.
5. Import your blog's .XML file to your self-hosted WordPress. Scroll down to 'Tools.' Click 'Import,' and then click 'Browse' to locate the .XML file on your hard drive. Click 'Open.' Click 'Import' to upload your blog -- posts, pictures, tags, titles, comments and all -- to your own server. The blog will appear exactly as it did on your old site, unless you've installed a different theme.
