How to download/ save my own website asking as a Noob
Basically I can no longer afford my site. I want to keep it dearly but I cannot pay. I am a noob at this stuff but I want to download/ save the site so that when I can host I can just re-upload its contents. Preferably with out having to edit much, but I am not sure if that is possible. I just want to save as much stuff as possible without having to edit and build again.
I would just like someone to tell me as a noob how I could do it. I have heard that HATTrack and Wget are popular choices? But with either one I was hoping to find someone that can explain what to do exactly so I do not make a mistake! Do those programs save templates as well? I would really appreciate any ideas, comments, or suggestions as my domain will be ending soon! |
How did you upload all your files? If it was through a FTP software, can't you simply download it through that? A few years ago I ran a little forum on a web host. I would upload everything through an FTP program called Filezilla. I would also download/back/up everything through Filezilla. Unless there's anything specific that wouldn't allow you to do that, I don't see why it should be a problem.

As mentioned initially I am a noob so I am not very aware of what exactly FTP is.
When I built the site I believe I was building it through bluehost. It is a wordpress website that was being hosted by bluehost so between either one I guess I was uploading through one. I say bluehost because its the hosting platform? Ive tried contacting bluehost but so far the support seems to be vague or not able to completely understand my question. There is a larger concern for me to renew and sell additional products than anything |
I've never had my own website, but maybe this will help.

If IPR512's suggestion doesn't help, here's a Google search link that shows a list of "help" web pages, that describe how to back up your Wordpress site....

I bow to lufbra's superior intellect if not tact, take no notice of my feeble attempt to assist and good luck saving a copy of your site.

Not sure which three site you are talking about, I only use this handle here?
I would have suggested the OP use cPanel to download his files in file manager, but he did confess to being a noob and was looking for a simple solution, which my suggestion would have provided, by giving him a copy of the site on his own computer for later reference. Try it, you might be surprised. Personally I use WinSCP for such actions, but I'm only an administrator of a web server not an insulting know-all. |

Regarding the three forums that I mentioned and you denied using, even to the point of your posting, "I only use this handle here". Take a look at this This CTH Page......And have a read of this... Quote:

I'm done with this post thread, you aren't worth wasting anymore time on. |
Visiting a site to read the content and posting on it are two different things.
And what is your problem? Why the aggression? I'd love to stay and have a battle of wits with you, but you're unarmed. |
