How to Download Your Site from Managed WordPress GoDaddy

If you have a website hosted on Managed WordPress GoDaddy, there may come a time when you need to download it. Perhaps you want to move to a different host or just keep a backup for safety. No matter the reason, downloading your site is a straightforward process that we'll guide you through step by step.

Before we dive in, it's important to note that Managed WordPress GoDaddy offers two different website builders: WordPress and their Website Builder. If you're using their Website Builder, this tutorial won't apply to you. For the rest of us using Managed WordPress GoDaddy, let's get started.

Step 1: Log in to Your GoDaddy Account

The first step is to log in to your GoDaddy account. If you already have your credentials, all you have to do is go to the GoDaddy home page and select "Sign In" from the top right corner. Enter your username and password, and you'll be logged in.

Step 2: Access Your Managed WordPress Account

Once you're logged in, go to "My Products" from the top menu, and then select "Managed WordPress". Next, locate the website you want to download and click on the three dots next to it. From the dropdown menu, select "Manage".

Step 3: Create a Backup

In the Managed WordPress dashboard, look for the "Backup" option in the left-hand menu. Click on it to access the backups page. Here you can create a new backup by clicking on the "Create Backup" button.

Step 4: Download Your Backup

Once your backup is ready, you can download it to your computer. Scroll down to the "Existing Backups" section and locate the backup you just created. Click on the three dots to expand the options and select "Download". The backup will download to your default download directory, or you can choose a specific location.

And that's it! You now have a copy of your website downloaded to your computer.

Conclusion

Downloading your Managed WordPress GoDaddy website is a relatively simple process. By following the steps in this tutorial, you should have no trouble downloading your website and keeping it safe.
