 * I am transferring from the host I am using now to Bluehost. I am trying to figure
   out how to do this. I downloaded filezilla as I was told, but now I am trying
   to figure out how to save all of my wordpress website data to upload to filezilla.
   Originally I just selected the import button on my wordpress dashboard, but someone
   at bluehost told me there is another more secure way to download the files and
   thats not the best method, but he couldnt give me further info. Can someone help
   me? Thanks!

 * AJWiliams: Your post is unrelated to the post you wrote on. Also you should not
   ask your questions on someone else’s post, but start your own new one instead.

 * Here is a guide to starting a wordpress site on Bluehost. Since you are transfering
   to Bluehost you will not use the “Register a New Domain” box. Instead you will
   click on transfer domain and enter your domain. You will need to point that domain
   to Bluehost’s name servers (NS1.bluehost.com & NS2.bluehost.com)..
 * There rest of the guide should help you.
