  I have my URL (.com) registered with GoDaddy and they host my website. How can I upgrade my WordPress account to Pro using the URL? I also have an email account with GoDaddy. Does WordPress provide email account?
  Blog url: http://exlingo.wordpress.com/

  If you have a site hosted at GoDaddy, the upgrades don’t apply to it. They only apply to blogs hosted at WordPress.com, like http://exlingo.wordpress.com/. Buy the upgrades for that blog from that dashboard. You can apply your existing domain name by following these instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  and WP.com doesn’t have mailservers, but you can use this workaround: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/
