  I have created a new website http://www.Phoenixwest2rentals.com.

  I own that domain at godaddy.com, and I followed the instructions of changing the nameservers. Next, I set it as the primary domain. Here are my 2 problems:

  1- My administration page is still at https://phoenixwest2rentals.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  2- My dashboard does not have an option for installing new plugins

  I purchased the $99.00 per year upgrade & $13.00 per year to have my own domain.
  What am I doing wrong?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The administration area of your site will always use your ____.wordpress.com URL. Using a custom domain (as you are doing with Phoenixwest2rentals.com) replaces that URL for every publicly viewable page on your site.

  2- My dashboard does not have an option for installing new plugins

  While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

  Plugins

  However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

  What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

  Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
