    Hello,

    I have read some of the question & answers on adding a domain I already own (bought with GoDaddy) and not sure which plan is best for me or if I should be signing up with wordpress.org? I just want a website for a food blog where I can use my own domain? I am just beginning so do not want to pay a lot to start.

    Thank you,
    Rachel

    Hey there,

    You can choose to use WordPress.com or WordPress.org.

    Using your domain purchased by GoDaddy is pretty easy, you can follow the guide here

    Hope this helps

    Hi @northfishbigsea,

    I just want a website for a food blog where I can use my own domain?

    You may want to consider the Personal plan, which is our most affordable option. It includes “domain mapping” so you can connect your GoDaddy domain and use it as your site address. You also have the option to transfer the domain (for free) if you want to consolidate your billing here at WordPress.com instead of paying in two places.

    Also if you are looking for a place to start this guide may be helpful: https://wordpress.com/learn/

    It is written with beginners in mind, and covers all the essentials. You may want to consider registering for one of our free daily webinars here: https://wordpress.com/webinars/

    We have plenty of food bloggers on WordPress.com, and we also offer specialized formatting or adding a recipe to your blog post, as well you can create just about any layout you like (if you are looking for a custom recipe appearance) by using our block editor.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
