  Hello,

  I am trying to add my GoDaddy domain name but only see an option for purchasing something additional on WordPress’ website. How can I add my Domain name onto my blog without having to purchase anything additional?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi

  It is unlikely to add your Domain name to your WordPress.com blog without having to purchase anything additional.

  Adding a domain to your site requires a WordPress.com plan.
  Check the documentation at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Since your Domain is registered at Godaddy, you’ll need to “map” that Domain to your WordPress.com blog site.
  Follow the steps here https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Over there at Godaddy, you’ll need to change your nameservers following the instruction here: https://www.godaddy.com/help/set-custom-nameservers-for-domains-registered-with-godaddy-12317

  Hope this helps!

  If you need more clarification let us know.

  Cheers:)
