help with connecting everything
-
I have the domain through GoDaddy, the Host through Bue host and I created a free website here at wordpress. I need to connect them, whats the best way? I want to connect so when searching the website it shows website.com and not website.wordpress.com. Also, when i click to map website on wordpress it looks like it wants to charge me a monthly fee that includes a host. I already paid for a host. HELP

Hi there,

The forum you’re posting in now is for the hosting provider, WordPress.com. We’re a WordPress hosting provider, same as Bluehost, and we’re not the same thing as the open source WordPress software.
If you’re trying to create a site on Bluehost’s hosting, that has nothing to do with us. In that case you need to contact Bluehost support to find out how to connect your GoDaddy domain to your site on Bluehost’s servers.
If instead you want to use your domain with your WordPress.com site, https://helpinghandtherapylmft.wordpress.com/, you need to upgrade to one of our paid plans and use our domain mapping upgrade to connect your domain to us:
https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/
In that case, you should not also be paying for hosting at Bluehost, as we are the hosting provider for your WordPress.com site. If you’re paying Bluehost for hosting as well, you’re paying them for something you don’t need at all.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
