Can I create custom wordpress site with domain purchased through godaddy

I purchased a domain name through godaddy and I am currently using their site builder but I am very unhappy. I think the wordpress platform is better for me, but I want to use my own domain name. can I do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can install the WordPress.ORG software on Godaddy – they should have a one button install – you would in that case still be hosted on Godaddy
Or you can map your domain name to your site here songbirdpublicrelations.wordpress.com. – you are hosted here – subject to our terms of service – and you don’t pay godaddy for the hosting – but you pay for the domain mapping to WordPress.COM – $ 13. – / year

I was able to find the info on purchasing the upgrade. I guess now I’m really just confused on how to get the site down from godaddy and what will happen with the email hosting. It is only costing me six or seven dollars a month for the site hosting, but they told me once that site was live it couldn’t be taken down. I use this for a business and I can’t afford to have the email messed up or not work for a period of time.

Several email options – some cost some don’t
Email for custom domain names

Moving content: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org
The LAST thing you do is the domain mapping as that kills your old site – so move content and get your blog here close enough looking then do the mapping & email
