hosting
-
Excuse my newbness…..I transferred a website okniawa-teav.com to wordpress and thought that included hosting? When We cancelled GoDaddy, the site ceased to exist. Luckily we got goDaddy to re-host it while I figure this out. You do or do not host the site? I have a premium account I thought that was included? Help?!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=okinawa-teav.com
Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Yes it is. I went to the link you provided and it is all WordPress. GoDaddy is who the site was originally registered with. Do I need to keep them (continue to pay them) even though I am not using them anymore? Do I need them to host my site ? If so why? I thought that’s what I got from you guys when I went premium

DNS changes take time and it looks like the change has now gone through.
If you’re not seeing your site correctly load, please clear your browser’s cache:
Your site is freely hosted at okinawateav.wordpress.com. You’ve added a custom domain, okinawa-teav.com, to your site via a Domain Mapping Upgrade.
Your domain is still registered at Go Daddy. In order to keep your site functioning, as is, you will need to renew both your domain’s registration and mapping upgrade each year, as these are distinct services.
For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:
