  Hi there,

  If you want to transfer your domain here on WordPress.com, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:

  If you also want to transfer your site here, we have put together a guide for that too:

  https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/

  If your site is on GoDaddy’s GoCentral, you need to follow this guide:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

  Thanks for the help,

  I have a GoDaddy account and domaion, and therefore I have email addresses associated with this domain, will I be able to keep these email addresses?

  On WordPress.com we do not offer email hosting so you’ll want to keep the email at GoDaddy and connect it to your site again as explained here:

  You can also switch to GSuite we do offer, however, this way you might lose your existent messages.
