  I have three domains – two that I set up months and years ago and haven’t re-visited, and one new one that I want to work on now. WordPress seems to be the most popular tool for website making. But maybe I should just leave everything at GoDaddy. Whats the best way to organize these?

  Hi there,

  You can create a website with WordPress.com and use your GoDaddy domain. WordPress gives you a free .blog domain so you can set up the website. Here’s some more info about setting up here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/start/

  Once your new site is all ready to go, you can point your domain to your newly created site! Here’s some more info about that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  One thing to note is you will need an upgraded WordPress plan to use custom domains.

  With regards to organisation, this will be up to you, we can host your domain name as well if you wish. This was your website and domain are all in one place. But having your domain and website in different places is totally fine.

  Here’s a bit of info about transferring a domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Please let me know if you have anymore questions!
