Hi there,
You did not share the URL of your site but GoDaddy does offer DIY website hosting, so you are able to host your own WordPresss site. You do not need WordPress.com for this.
However, there are a few advantages to hosting your site on our managed hosting, you can even connect your GoDaddy domain to a site here:
- We provide WordPress-specific specialized support and updates specifically designed for WordPress, ensuring optimal website performance.
- We handle your site security through automatic WordPress-specific updates, backups, and vulnerability scanning.
- We include performance optimization such as caching, CDN, and server-level enhancements, leading to faster load times and a better user experience.
Also, if you would like help setting up a custom website you may want to consider our Built By WordPress.com Express program. It allows you to submit your website information through our project intake form, select your design from our catalog of professionally designed themes, and we’ll create custom layouts for each page of your WordPress.com site and add your content to each of them.
You will receive an email with a link to your finished website within 4 business days and the result is very professional. You can see some examples of recently launched sites here: Recently launched sites
