  Hey hi hello!

  Just to be certain, you bought a domain name (guptaandassociates.in) from GoDaddy, and you want to build your website with WordPress.com (the managed-hosting platform)?

  If so, I suggest one of two options – domain connection, which I strongly recommend, or domain transfer.

  In summary, with links to documentation for steps/instruction:
  Domain Connection (Domain Mapping) (my recommendation):
  – https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/
  – Connects a domain owned (with another provider) to your WordPress site
  – Feature that’s included in any paid plans
  – Can take up to 72 hours to connect

  Domain Transfer:
  – https://wordpress.com/support/domains/incoming-domain-transfer/
  – Takes a domain bought with another provider (GoDaddy, BlueHost, SiteGround, etc.) and transfers it to WordPress.com
  – Allows for both site management and domain management to be done in WordPress (for convenience)
  – Fee is the standard renewal cost for the domain

  As you had just purchased your domain on the 21st, I don’t imagine doing a domain transfer and incurring another cost is in your interest. Thus, I recommend domain connection.

  I hope this helps. If any of the steps seem too confusing, feel free to ask about them here!
