    Hi there, @patrickgregoryfilarmeo!

    Thanks for reaching out.

    It sounds like you are looking to build your site here with us at WordPress.com and you want to connect a domain to that site that you registered with GoDaddy. Is that right?

    If so, could you let me know a bit of information about the site you are looking to build? What is the primary purpose of your site? This will help me recommend the best plan that aligns with the goals you have for this site.

    For now, you can start with the Personal plan so that you can connect your domain registered elsewhere to your WordPress.com site. You can upgrade here:

    Once purchased, you can follow this guide to connect your domain from GoDaddy to your WordPress.com site:

    WP
    Domains » Connect a Domain
    in WordPress.com Support

    If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

    Let me know if you have any questions!
