How do I transfer an existing hosted site to Wordpress?
I currently have a site hosted on inmotion that I created using iweb. I want to transfer that site to wordpress and continue having it be hosted on inmotion. I plan to scrap the existing site and redesign it once in wordpress.
I logged into my cpanel and began to install wordpress from Softaculous. I got the error message:
Installation cannot proceed because the following files already exist in the target folder: .htaccess
Please delete these files or choose another folder.OR
Select the checkbox to overwrite all files and continue
Does this mean that once I install wordpress, my existing site will disappear? Am I even doing this right? Forgive me for not having the vocabulary to know if I am even asking the right questions.
Also, eventually I want to host a second wordpress site on my inmotion account. Does this mean I need to "enable multisite."
Many thanks for any help that can be offered.
