  I have bought a domain name from Godaddy, can I use this if I am setting up my website on wordpress? There doesn’t seem to be any info on this online. I haven’t bought any hosting

  We have two ways to use a domain you already own with a site here at WordPress.com:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/
