  Do you get a custom domain (example.com) with the premium service? Do I need Go Daddy at all as it says it comes with a custom domain included in the price. It’s not clear at all.

  GoDaddy is a web host for hosting WordPress.ORG software installs. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you need clarity on what GoDaddy offers please contact them directly https://support.godaddy.com/

  If you buy the $99.-/yr package – included in the package is a custom domain name & domain mapping, so you would not need to go outside to say Godaddy to register a custom domain name – –
