  If you want to host your site yourself, you also need wordpress hosting at Godaddy.
  To move your site from wordpress.com to selfhosted, https://move.wordpress.com/.
  If you want to connect your domain to your wordpress.com website, you need a paid plan together with Domain Connection, https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Hi @viswasayathra,

  To add to what @staartmees noted, you can either connect or transfer your GoDaddy domain to WordPress.com.

  A plan upgrade is required to use a custom domain. It’s worth noting that a free one-year domain registration is included in a plan upgrade, and you might want to consider transferring your domain to WordPress.com. This it will extend your domain expiry date by a year.

  I hope that helps and please reach out again if you have any further questions.
