 * Hey guys,
 * I am trying to move my wordpress.com site to my hosting (Godaddy). I changed 
   the server dsn so that they point at my hosting but still doesnt work. Godaddy
   says that everything is fine from their side, and that there’s a problem from
   WordPress. Apparently is impossible to contact people from wordpress, so here
   I am: desperate and hopeless. With a client deadline in 12 hrs.
 * here’s the site: giorgiobosisio.com –> can anyone help me out, please? What does
   this landing page mean and how can I solve the situation? The old site is gone
   too…

 * How long ago did you change the Nameservers? It can take up to 72 hours for them
   to take full effect. Looks like they are set correctly –

 * Thanks a lot! Maybe it will come with the time then.
 * In the meantime, do you think I can set up an Alias/redirection to have the website
   live?

 * I don’t think so, but in any case, you’d need to ask on the [WordPress.COM forums](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/)
   for further help on this.
 * But one other question – have you installed WP and imported content to the new
   GoDaddy site?

 * I cannot import content from wordpress.com, can I?
 * Anyway, I am re-doing the website completely. For now I just have uploaded a 
   COMING SOON page, which doesnt show up.
 * thanks for your help.

 * If you don’t care about the content, may not be relevant, but yes, you can move
   content – see:

 * Hi,
    Simple Steps. 1. copy wordpress from WWW directory and paste it in your 
   new hosting. 2. Backup your database. 3. Restore in your new hosting site.
 * Enjoy

 * **[@leonard_mca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leonard_mca/)** – that’s
   not possible on a WordPress.COM site as there is no access to the database or
   files on the server.
