  Hi reptilepaulie,

  Would you like to register a new domain? Or do you already own a domain that you would like to use?

  Once I know for sure, I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

  Gemma,
  sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
  I have a wordpress page set up, web address is: http://www.somethingfoul.com
  I set this domain name up through “GoDaddy”.
  I just set up another domain name through them called:
  http://www.paulwoodsong.com
  I would like to use this domain name in a new WordPress site without having to pay anything for upgrading, etc…
  I did not have to go through an upgrade for my “www.somethingfoul.com website.
  Thanks for your help!

  Hi reptilepaulie,

  Your GoDaddy domain can be ‘mapped’ to your WordPress.com site with Domain Mapping:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Domain mapping is feature of paid WordPress.com plans — Personal, Premium or Business. Each plan includes a domain credit which can be used to map a domain or register a new one.

  I did not have to go through an upgrade for my “www.somethingfoul.com website.

  Yes, that site was created using WordPress.org rather than WordPress.com. This guide has more information about the differences between the two:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  somethingfoul.com is not hosted with us which is why you didn’t need a plan.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.

  How can I cancel my wordpress.com account so I can jump over to wordpress.org?

  The first step is to decide whether you want to move your current site to WordPress.org or have a completely fresh start. We have a guide which explains how to move a WordPress.com site to WordPress.org:

  https://move.wordpress.com/

  If you no longer need your account after the site has been moved it can be deleted. However, you can keep it if you think you may want to use it again in the future.
