Hi..I purchased a domain and wordpress theme. What do I need to do to upload them to my acct.? Thanks
You'll need to first add your domain name to your WA hosting. Did you purchse your domain through WA? If so, your domain is already set up for WA hosting.
If not, your first step is to point your domain's DNS settings to WA's server addresses. The process varies a bit from registrar to registrar. Enter the term DNS and the registrar name into the WA search box to find the training that's specific to your registrar.
Once you've made the required changes, you'll need to wait a bit (as little as an hour or less to as long as a full day) for WA's servers to recognize that the domain is pointed to their addresses. (Again, no need to wait if you purchased it though WA.)
Click on the siterubix "Site Builder" tab. Click on the "On a Domain I Own" button. Fill in the domain name you own. (You won't be able to proceed if WA's servers don't see the DNS settings pointed at them.) Give your site a name, pick a theme, and click on the "I'm Ready, Build My Website Now!" button.
"pick a theme"..Can I upload a theme and sample content from my PC? Will there be an option for uploading after I point the domain to WA/ Thanks
Yes, once you've gotten your site hosted at WA, you can then upload a new theme from your PC to replace the theme that was installed when the site was built.
You'd do that by using the "Add New" button on the "Themes" page (under "Appearance"). On the "Add New" page, there is a button labeled "Upload Theme". Clicking that button opens a "Browse" button to allow you to select a theme zip file to upload. When you've selected your theme, the "Install Now" button will be enabled.
Thanks Bob...need to point the DNS as the domain is on GoDaddy..There is no site yet on WA..I have the theme and sample content on my PC...I will contact support. Thanks again

I transfered my websites over to WA and pointed the Nameservers...How can I tell if my files are all hosted on WA now so I can close down my Blue Host account?
go to this link .. where is showing the heading 'Domain Name' ... is your website listed underneath it.. and Hosting showing 'Live' ?

all are live...so I can close down my hosting? What about domain renewals? Thanks for your speedy assistance Chris...appreciate it
