Update: GoDaddy Domain Name Transfer is “Pending” xD…
You want to save time before you take the first step in anything? Very unlikely, most of the new experiences in life we go through will require struggles and failures. If I can save you some time or at least show you a problem you might encounter then this was beneficial. I am writing this while working on the problem, so its fresh.
Context of my problem, I purchased my domains through GoDaddy. Why, simply because I have purchased domains there before in the past and well no complaints. Suddenly I had the lightbulb of an idea to purchase hosting through BlueHost. Doing this required me to transfer the domain to BlueHost from there you can actually access the backend of WordPress.
Where in lies my problem, I already have WordPress account but it seems like BlueHost creates a temporary account. I also cannot seem to find my website when I do a google search? Odd, but let us not stay in the Valley of Despair to long. Oh, I am also watching the latest season of arguably the best Sci-Fi television show of our time, The Expanse. More on that later in another post.
Here’s the steps I took to get my Blog up and Running today. Disclaimer any links that you click on may be affiliate links, and I’ll talk more about that as I go into this blog. More of headache than I anticipated, when transferring a domain from GoDaddy to BlueHost there was a hiccup somewhere. Actually, after checking on GoDaddy it is showing me that the domain is still “pending transfer”.
Because this is pending, I am going to wait until this is finished before spending anymore time figuring out what is going on with my new blog. Exciting! As for my list here are the remaining items I need to check off to officially congratulate myself on a job well done.
