Hi! I'd like to transfer my website to WA. It's been compromised however. Do I need to start all over again and build the site here. Or can I just tranfer it? And the optio

Hey Ricky there are a few options here. Transfer the domain and build the website here, you can export and import all the data through the dashboard - support can help you here. if its been compromised maybe your not confident its secure however.

Transfer the data to a new domain name and use 301 re-directs to point all the indexed pages to the new website. (means you keep any traffic you are getting organically.)

Either way I would contact support and ask their opinion on this they should be able to assist in the transfer.

Thanks for the information!

Eric,
Here is the problem with doing what you were thinking about doing. If you build another site and move the domain over
then the information from the domain name you move over
will be covered up by the new content you are publishing
here on the new site.
Now if you are not concerned about losing the content
then all of what you are saying will work fine :)
Just remember you will still have tweaking to do when
you transfer everything to the domain.

Hey Susan!
Thanks for the info! Yeah if I can keep all the info and the ranking that'd be great. I just don't want to bring the unsafe elements over here also...might just have to start over and do it better this time.
