    I want my blog address to be soberingthoughts.org, as is my domain, purchased from godaddy. Currently, my wordpress url is soberingthoughtsdotorg.wordpress.com.
    I can’t do this on my own, I need help over the phone. And, I know it means I have to buy one of your plans.

    Hi Angel,

    I can’t do this on my own, I need help over the phone

    We do not provide phone support because many of the issues we discuss require frequent reference to web links and code.

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/live-chat/#phone-support

    We do provide support through these forums, via email, and even live chat if you have a paid plan. If you have the Business Plan, we do provide support via video chat.

    For the different ways we provide support, please visit our support page:

    However, I want to see if I could help you here first.

    I want my blog address to be soberingthoughts.org, as is my domain, purchased from godaddy. Currently, my wordpress url is soberingthoughtsdotorg.wordpress.com.

    So, if you have a domain you want to use at WordPress.com that you have hosted with Go Daddy, you do have the option to map or transfer that domain.

    The biggest factors to consider would be who you want to host your domain, how much your domain host currently costs compared to the domain + plans packages we offer here, and whether or not you want to host your domain and site at the same place.

    If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll manage the domain. Assuming you want the domain primary, you’ll pay for the mapping and the plan here (domain is included within the plan price for the first year).

    But, if you keep the domain with your current host and map the domain to WordPress.com, your current host will continue to manage the domain and you’ll still need to pay them for hosting your domain.

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

    Thanks!
