  You might accidentally be forwarding and masking your domain name (your website link). Is your domain registered through GoDaddy?

  Here’s a description of forwarding/masking:

  We do not provide support for any GoDaddy hosted sites here at all. Nor do we provide support for any wordpress.ORG software installs. That support os here http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Are you trying to map to your domain URL from an underlying .wordpress.com blog?

  If that is the case, then proceed as I describe below.

  re: mapping an existing domain
  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

  See https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

  Your only options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
