How move custom-domain blogger site to www.remarpro.com

  • I’ve been searching for hours and can’t find any answers to this.

    I currently have a custom-domain name with blogger (purchased through google & Enom). The site is https://www.mysavingcents.com

    I would like to transition to a WordPress hosted site. I understand I will pay a monthly hosting fee through godaddy or bluehost.

    Now i assume i can’t purchase the domain name with another host since obviously it’s already in use by me. So i assume i will transfer my domain name from enom to godaddy. But will this give me downtime during the transition? I just don’t want my site to be all messed up during the transition.

  • In your case, I would set up the WordPress installation first in bluehost or godaddy then set up the WordPress site using IP address. After your site is set up just as you want it, you can point the domain name to your new DNS at bluehost or godaddy.

    So you’re saying it’s easier for me register a temporary garbage domain name on which i can duplicate my site to my liking and then just transfer over the domain name?

    then my temporary domaian just never gets used? It seems like a waste of a domain name? i suppose its really best way for me to not deal with any downtime?

    Never said that, so please don’t rant on something you do not know about. The IP address of your webhost service which you said you will be purchasing. Contact your prospective webhosting service to find out what it means and if they can allow that for the webhost package you can afford.

    I remember seeing this on Blogger earlier. Do you want it to go straight to your WP site? Or do you want a disclaimer like https://caffeineguru.blogspot.com ? In the meantime, which I look for an answer, maybe you could just transfer your domain name to a new host and just host wordpress without a Blogger account.

    There should be an option to sign up with a type of an account which accepts the fact that you own an existing domain. It then creates an account for you where you have the hosting space, etc., but your domain is still functioning elsewhere. At that point you can set up your site as mercime suggested and use the IP address-URL. (Usually this is something like 255.255.255.255/~username) Then, when you are ready, you can point your DNS to your new host.

    Thanks guys.

    I just figured out how to set up a WordPress site using my local computer as host so I am in the midst of migrating my blogger website to WordPress.

    Once that’s done, I’ll transfer the domain name to a different host, redirect DNS to the new site.

    That should work
