  Hi there,

  Domain Mapping is only available for upgraded WordPress plans.

  Here’s a bit more info: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#getting-started-with-domain-mapping

  Hi there,

  You cannot use a domain with two different hosts at the same time, and if the domain is already used with a site hosted with GoDaddy, you cannot use it with your site hosted on WordPress.com as well.

  If you want to connect the domain to your WordPress.com site instead of your site on GoDaddy, you will need to upgrade to one of our paid plans. You do not pay us for hosting, but for the features and services included in the plan, one of which is the ability to use your own domain.
