Websites are a must-have asset for any small business. They’re like a full-time employee for marketing, sales, and support who works 24/7/365 without taking any vacation time or sick days.

There are quite a few options to choose from, all with very different approaches. You could do it yourself with a website builder like GoDaddy’s own Website Builder.

    1. HI, there.
      No. The WSB is a tool that will not allow you to convert to WP. You will not be able to save and migrate. VB:)

  1. Is it possible to migrate from Website builder to WordPress if i already have a website builder site on Godaddy ?

  2. Excellent Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried – Tansaiah Voiceless Transcendence (probably on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for getting free online traffic and make money minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got amazing results with it.

    1. Hi, Arthur.
      We recommend, in this case you work with a developer and use WordPress or a CPanel. If you have any more questions, please reach out to our live support at x.co/247support. VB:)

  3. Hello I need help, my old site was made with Godaddy Website Builder version 6. I made a WordPress website through Godaddy. I want to know how move my domain from the Website Builder version 6 to use on my WordPress website?

  4. I have had Yahoo’s paid business web hosting for many years. However, now Yahoo no longer supports the Site Builder Tool.
    They are now giving me two new free options…Word Press or Yahoo’s Website Builder. Are you familiar with Yahoo’s new Website Builder Tool? I’d rather go with Word Press, but also want to get a new website up and running in one to two weeks. (I have been using Yahoo’s Sire Builder tool for years, so semi-familiar at least with building websites), but again, Site Builder software is not as involved as Word Press. Thanks.

  5. You forgot to mention that website builder does not offer the opportunity to move your site to another host, if needed. That is very important to know. You lose all your wok.

  6. So helpful…but, when a place like GoDaddy asks what kind you want: personal blog, business blog and all the rest. I want a website to share crochet patterns and items but sell them too..what do I choose? I am totally new to this stuff

  8. One thing that I think is worth mentioning that (copy/paste from here) “you don’t technically have full ownership of your site and content. You’re renting the website from these companies [i.e any website builder like WIX, Square, etc.]. So when you stop paying, all of those files and pages are either lost or held by the company. With WordPress, you own the files, and no one can prevent you from moving them to other hosts.”

    An important point in my eyes.

    1. I know man I just want to make a place for people to come together, super simple and that’s about it. How do I avoid this?

  9. Hello! Love the videos, very easy to understand. I am new to the website/domain thang. We have a domain and hired someone to build our website using WordPress. Does the process end there, or is a HOST required? Thanks.

  10. Love your guides videos so much and from Darlene. I wish more webhost provider have such professional agents like you.

    I like very much the website builder when I check some examples sites they have score 100 and near zero TTFB and no render blocking scripts, it looks like this website builder has better code than the damn wordpress who cause lots ifrendering scripts- I can not remove them tried w3 cache and Autopimize no luck.

    I hope one day live chat support will be come back or submit ticket that would be very nice.

    Thank you for your helping videos for GD beginners like me.
