  Hi! I purchased a url via Go Daddy and now I want to build a site in Word Press, but I don’t know how. I only see the option in WordPress to build a site for new domains/urls…did I do something wrong? I am a beginner if you can’t tell :)

  Hi –

  Welcome :) You can get started by building your site on a free address. Those are ones that end with .wordpress.com. These will be helpful with getting that site set up.

  1. https://learn.wordpress.com/
  2. https://en.support.wordpress.com/video-tutorials/
  3. https://en.support.wordpress.com/grow-your-community/
  4. https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  Next, you will connect your domain. There are 2 ways to do that.

  1. Domain Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  2. Domain Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  If your domain is new, then you’ll need to use the mapping option. Once it is 60 days old you can transfer it to us if you want. Both options are going to show your WordPress.com site with the domain.

  Write back to me here with more questions. Happy to help!
