    I have a domain registered with GoDaddy. I now want to build the website. Do I go with them, you guys or does it make a difference?

    Hi @organiksol, assuming you’re deciding to run your own copy of WordPress at GoDaddy, or use our services, it really just depends on how involved you want to be with the technical end of things. Perhaps this page will help?

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    You can use our service, which provides hosting and management, as well as support with paid plans. If you use our service, you would need a business plan to add plugins.

    Or, you can buy hosting, and set up your own free WordPress installation there. Just note many hosts do not offer WordPress management and support, or they charge extra for it. This is a good option if you want to handle the technical end of things yourself. You’ll still have access to the WordPress.org community here, too: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Does that help? I’m sure you may more have questions, so send them on over :)
