    Hi there!

    I’ll be happy to help you with your questions today!

    You can definitely use a domain you own with GoDaddy to build a website on WordPress.com. You always need a hosting service provider to host your website. If you build your website with us, we’ll be your host. So you won’t need another host elsewhere.

    You will need a WordPress.com plan to add your domain to your WordPress.com site and set it as the primary address. You can upgrade below, but we’ll be happy to help you choose a plan for your site. Feel free to tell us about your site requirements so that we can suggest the best plan for you.

    After upgrading to a WordPress.com plan, you can follow the instructions below to connect your GoDaddy domain to your WordPress.com site:
