  Hello,

  I bought the domain clearwayrealestate.com using GoDaddy. I then set up a free account on WordPress.

  I forwarded the domain on Godaddy to WordPress.

  This website works: https://clearwayrealestate.wordpress.com/ (but the URL isn’t correct, it should be clearwayrealestate.com)

  clearwayrealestate.com shows a 404.

  Not sure what to do. Would really appreciate the help!

  Hi,

  You would need to have a paid plan to be able to use your domain on wordpress.com

  https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  According to a whois hosting checker your site is being hosted by GoDaddy currently https://gwhois.org/clearwayrealestate.com+dns

  Have you moved your site to wordpress.com?

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/incoming-domain-transfer/

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-a-godaddy-domain/

  You have the choice of transferring or connecting your domain to wordpress.com
