Need some help about transfering domain and site.
I have a few websites and domains with host gator. Does any one Know if I transfer from hostgator to WA if I will loose my content on my websites or does it transfer only the domain without the site.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I recently moved my 56 page website to WA from another hosting service. I chose to copy the text from my old sites and then rebuild the site in WAs WP. I chose a theme that I thought updated my tired old formats and redid all the graphics so everything worked correctly as if I had built the new site form the ground up. When done, I moved my domain name across and removed all the old files from the old host.
Your URL might be slightly different if you have changed the structure, so be sure to go under Tools on your dashboard to redirection and put in a redirection from your old page addresses to the corresponding new one.
You need the hosting URLs ns1mywahosting.com. and
ns2mywahosting.com. Both have to be used.

Hi, I would always always always back up your site first, just in case
there is a problem but usually there isn't one. It should just move over. How to Back Up Your Wordpress Site - Using Tools Export
