How to move Managed wordpress to CPanel wordpress.

[Philip]

I have a site which is a godaddy managed wordpress. I want to stop using managed wordpress services and want this website to be set up with cpanel instead. How can I do this?

A couple of options.

1. Use a plug-in like Backup Buddy or All-in-One WP Migration.

2. Do it manually (which basically means creating a new WordPress site, then manually moving over themes, plug-ins, database, images, etc.). Not hard to do, you just have to be methodical and do the steps in the right order.
