  I’m wondering, I bought my domain through WordPress but the thing that’s puzzling to me is.. can I use plugins if I bought my domain through them? If so, how?

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

  I’m afraid not, plugins are only for self-hosted .org powered blogs. So, you’d need to point that domain to hosting elsewhere before using plugins.

  Can I transfer my domain to GoDaddy?

  Yes, but you should know that there’s a 60-day hold placed on domains that are new or that have had contact information changed. This is a rule set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm

  If you purchased a domain from WordPress.com within the past 60 days, you can update the name servers any time in order to switch to another web hosing company.

  If you purchased a domain from WordPres.com more than 60 days ago, you can transfer the domain name to another registrar.
