  Hi there!

  Happy to help you with this! I noticed that wholeheart.art is already registered with GoDaddy. Do you own the domain through them?

  If you’re the owner of the domain, there are two ways you can use it with your WordPress.com site. Both ways will require a paid WordPress.com plan, so you will want to upgrade to a paid plan first by going to this link: https://wordpress.com/plans

  Once you have a paid plan, here are two ways you can use your domain with your WordPress.com site:

  1. Transfer the domain to WordPress.com

  If you want to transfer the domain to WordPress.com, you can follow the instructions here to do so: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  2. Connect the domain without transferring

  If you’d rather keep the domain registered with GoDaddy and point it to WordPress.com instead, you can use Domain Connection: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  We have more information on the differences between the two options above at this link: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-connection-vs-domain-transfer/
