: Switching from GoDaddy Hosting to Bluehost Hosting with/without transfering domain names? I currently have my Wordpress blog hosted with GoDaddy. I want to transfer my hosting to another hosting

@Jessie594

Read the manuals. A simple search at Bluehost will give you all the information about transferring the domain name: www.bluehost.com/cgi/help/45
Pick your hosting package, install WP (its just a few clicks at Bluehost), backup your old WP database (http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups) and migrate.

Sorry to say, but not really the right question for this site. Nobody is going to write a full step by step manual for you here...

It should be as simple as changing the DNS servers at Godaddy.com from Goddady's nameservers to Bluehost's nameservers. You can do that in the control panel at Godaddy.com.

you have two options:

1) Keep the domain with GoDaddy (the registrar) and ask them to change the nameservers to point to your new host.

2) Transfer your domain to the new host and they will then admin it for you and point it to your new site.

Personally I would go with option 2 as that way you have the hosting and domain name all in the same place and it makes it easier to admin and for billing purposes.
