How to Export Files From GoDaddy to WordPress

1. Log into your GoDaddy website. How you log in depends on what software you loaded onto GoDaddy, but if you have WordPress installed log in at http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin where 'yourdomain.com' is the name of your actual site.
2. Click the 'Export' button in your software. Most blogging platforms have a feature to export posts and pages to an XML file. It's usually located somewhere on your Dashboard or Home Page although you may have to navigate a sub menu to find it. If you have WordPress installed, click 'Tools' and then click 'Export.' An XML file will be downloaded to your Desktop.

3. Log into your new WordPress site.
4. Click 'Tools' and then click 'Import.' Choose the type of XML file you'll be importing. Which file you choose depends upon which software you had installed on your GoDaddy site. When you click the relevant button, an import tool will open and direct your through the import process for your specific software.
