  It looks like you are working with a self-hosted site on iPage instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here.

  Learn more about the differences between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  With that being said, I would take the following steps:

  1. Change your Site Address (URL) and WordPress Address (URL) back to goferph.com. There are a couple ways you can do this manually without access to your site:
     https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
  2. Register the domain goferbiker.com; this domain is currently available, which means nobody would be able to use it right now
  3. Then you could use the following page to help move your site and update your domain name to use goferbiker.com instead of goferph.com:
     https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Changing_Your_Domain_Name_and_URLs

  I hope that at least gets you pointed in the right direction. If you have any more questions about this or while you are going through the steps above, I would ask on the WordPress.org support forums:

  Good luck!
