OK, this is it! Time to migrate off of GoDaddy - Help!!

[RKramkowski]

OK, we keep getting the following message when we try to go to DNS management at GoDaddy:

"The domain associated with this hosting account is not registered with your account. Please call customer support".

I've already plugged in their nameservers at the registrar (days ago). Whois shows me the proper nameservers but not an IP addr. Inside GoDaddy, I can see the domain I created and an IP addr. It looks like there's a missing connection between the domain and their nameservers.

Everytime they have us make a change, they refuse to talk to us for 48 hrs to make sure everything propagates. But it is obvious the problem is inside GoDaddy since I can see the propagation well before 48 hrs and even after 48 hrs whois still cannot see an IP addr. Now we're going on four days of being down.

So it's time to migrate. What do I have to do to migrate all my files and databases off fo GoDaddy and onto Hostgator? Can I just FTP all the files from GoDaddy to HostGator? I know that the databases have to be exported and re-imported though. I've never done that before. Any tips and suggestions to make it go smoothly?

BTW, it is a WP 2.5.1 blog with two mySQL databases.

Thanks,
Bob Kramkowski
