Connecting your website to a new hosting service can be a bit tricky if you haven’t done it before. In this article, you will learn how to connect a GoDaddy domain to a Siteground hosting service. Siteground also offers a domain service which means you can buy the domain directly in the siteground but still many prefer Godaddy, Namecheap services for buying domain names as it offers many discounts.

I am using siteground as my hosting service for one of my websites for the past 6 years and I am really impressed with their service and till now I haven’t faced any major issues with 99.9 % percent uptime. Earlier I used Hostgator where I faced a few issues and also a lot of downtimes.

Adding a website in the Siteground:

Step 1:

Login to your siteground account https://my.siteground.com/websites/list and navigate to Websites option in Menu and click on “New Website”

Step 2:

After clicking on “New website” you will get a below popup window in which you need to click “Existing Domain” and enter the domain name that you bought from Godaddy and select “Continue”

In the next screen, you will get two options, one is to create a new website and another one is to migrate an existing website. If you already have a live website with content and if you would like to host it in Siteground then you should choose the “Migrate website” option. If not, choose the “Start New Website” option. In this tutorial, we are going to use the “Start New website” option.

After selecting “Start New Website” you will get an option to enter your WordPress site login credentials. This is the email ID and Password that you will be using to log into the WordPress website. Click continue after entering the email ID and Password.
