Problem with setting up a website address

    I ‘ve set up a website today using Hostgator and tried to add my web address which is the same as my Domain Name which I’ve purchased from Go Daddy for 5 years.
    I paid $189.06 to Hostgator for 3 years hosting but when setting up my webpage I came up against problems when I transferred my Domain name across.

    I couldn’t use my MarianTurnerCraftyLady.co.uk as a web address – it would only allow me to use .blog. I have paid for business cards with the address above ending in .co.uk but now have a .blog instead. How can I resolve this problem with the web address please?
    What am I doing wrong? I am so confused.
    Thank you
    Marian Turner

    The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

    This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

    The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

    For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.
