  I have already got a domain name which I just renewed two days ago with GoDaddy. I want to use Word Press, hosted by GoDaddy, but I don’t want to renew the domain name again.

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hey there, you’re actually in the forums for the sites hosted here at WordPress.com, rather than the forums for the free WordPress software you’re using.

  For what it’s worth, I’d recommend contacting your host about this. You will likely need some kind of domain there for the site to keep working. They can help you change the address.

  Then if you need more help with the free WordPress code, you’ll want to use these forums:

  Here’s the difference between the free WordPress software and our managed hosting services:

  Cheers!
