  Hi there, @lgoodson!

  Thanks for reaching out.

  Looking over the domain you mentioned, it looks like you set up a redirect in Godaddy, where you manage DNS for this domain, for this domain. This domain is redirecting to the following:

  https://wordpress.com/home/lindagee.wordpress.com

  You would want to reach out to GoDaddy to help you set the redirect to https://lindagee.wordpress.com instead.

  Keep in mind that with this redirect, https://lindagoodson.com would redirect to https://lindagee.wordpress.com but https://lindagee.wordpress.com will be what your visitors see. https://lindagee.wordpress.com is your primary site address.

  Did you know you can replace the site address lindagee.wordpress.com with lindagoodson.com if you were to upgrade to one of our paid plans? I’d be happy to recommend the best plan for your site! If interested, please share with me a bit of information about your site. That could include the primary purpose of your site.

  You can upgrade your plan at:

  My Site → Upgrades → Plans

  Then, once you have purchased a plan, you can connect your domain to your site and replace your .wordpress.com site address with your custom domain. You can do so by following this guide:

  If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

  Let me know if you have any questions!
