    I bought a domain name through godaddy, and was using wordpress.org. I then switched to wordpress.com did all the setup and such. And now would like godaddy to be my host again. I would also like to go back to wordpress.org.

    If I delete my blog on wordpress.com, will that affect my using the wordpress.org program through godaddy.

    I wouldn’t loose my domain name for good would I?

    Sorry everyone I am still pretty new at all this. And I’m sorry if this exact topic has been discussed before, I searched the forums, and couldn’t find an exact answer.

    All help would be very much appreciated.

    You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

    This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

    If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

    Deleting your blog here will have no effect on the domain name you own and you can open up a new hosting account with godaddy and move everything back there.

    The domain name is yours as long as you continue to pay for the registration on it and you can do with it what you please.
