Wordpress on Mac w/ MAMP to GoDaddy

So I bought a domain name/hosting from godaddy and downloaded wordpress from wordpress.org and MAMP to run it. I've created the layout and some content, now how do I go about getting it into the godaddy site? Do I need to buy something else now!? Or is it a simple file transfer? I've only seen videos on how to do it for windows with WAMP and it's different with MAMP it seems. Any advice or links would be great because my site is ready to go live and now I run into another wall. These walls never fucking end in web design/development huh

Why are you doing it that way?

Why not use plesk or cpanel?

Just export the files from your local server and ftp to the Godaddy installation.

I'm very new to this, my friend and I are starting a project for portfolio and this is the first I'm web designing, experiencing with hosts and such. I don't even know what plesk and cpanel are. I just know that worpress is what we are using for our website and everything is all set I just need to export it from local to my hosted site on godaddy.

[h=3]Transfer MAMP WordPress site to your Live Server[/h] Now you can begin developing your website locally to get ready to transfer to your website. I'll be creating a separate tutorial on how to get your site from MAMP to your live server, but for now here are the quick simple steps:

1. Change the wordpress URL in the backend settings of wordpress to the new server domain name on both the WordPress URL and the Blog URL. Then click "Save Changes"
2. Your website will now look broken. That's cause it's now looking for the domain name.
3. Now go to the phpMyadmin section in MAMP and select the database where your wordpress site is installed.
4. Go to the export tab, and select all tables, be sure that SQL is selected, check the checkbox that says save as a file, and give the file a name and click "go".
5. Now simply upload your wordpress files to the server.
6. Now go to the MySQL Database Manager for your site and create a new database, along with new user, password, etc.
7. Now in the database manager go to the import tab and import your database that you exported from MAMP.
8. Go to your wp-config.php file and add the database info that you created/used for the new database.
9. Test your site and you should be good to go!

As I said I'll be creating a tutorial with more details on how to get the MAMP WordPress install to your server, but hopefully that was helpful.
