  We have an existing domain on GoDaddy (other committee members wan to stay there).
  How do I replace that website content with the one I created in WordPress? With just the existing domain name?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello @aagop2021,

  If you want to use your existing domain with a WordPress.com site, you need a paid WordPress.com plan for that site.

  Hi @aagop2021,

  To add to what @tenchoenyi noted, you’ll need a Personal plan or higher to connect your GoDaddy domain.

  It’s worth noting that a one-year free domain registration is included with a plan upgrade, so you might want to consider a domain transfer instead, as that will extend you’re domain’s expiry by a year.

  To upgrade your WordPress.com site, please go to Upgrades → Plans. Hope that helps!
