  Hi krissykreations88,

  You can connect your domain to your WordPress.com blog by following the steps found at this support page.

  Despite what it says on the support page, you don’t need a Premium or Business plan to use your own domain! You can pay a small fee each year to map your own domain name to your WordPress.com blog. If you have the Personal plan, then you won’t have to pay this fee. You can add your own domain (‘mapping’ it to your blog) from the Domains section of your blog’s control panel.

  Hi there,

  @anniessewingstudio is correct.

  In order to use your domain hosted at Godaddy with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
