  Hello

  I have a website: cannabishealthyliving.com that I purchased through GoDaddy however the platform is through WordPress: cannabishealthyliving.wordpress.com

  – What I want to do is switch everything over to WP with a plan (I have no clue as to which one) and get rid of GoDaddy in its totality.
  – I want to learn how to create it (my brother-in-law) started it but looking to change/add things so I would need some help there.
  – I want to make sure that I have an email specific to my site (i.e. (email visible only to moderators and staff))

  Instead of emailing, I would really like to speak with me (at least at the start) since I am rather inarticulate about this all. My phone is [redacted]

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

  Hi @knechtmedia

  Welcome to WordPress.com

  – What I want to do is switch everything over to WP with a plan (I have no clue as to which one) and get rid of GoDaddy in its totality.

  To move your site from GoDaddy to WordPress.com.

  The first thing you need to do is migrate your content (Page, Post, Images) to WordPress.com Blog.

  Here are the instructions you need:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/view-all/

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/

  Once your contents get imported to WordPress.com Blog, then you can proceed to upgrade to a paid plan.

  You can find more details about the paid plans here.

  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Select the plan according to your requirements.

  For more details regarding plan features, please refer to this support document.

  Choose a WordPress.com Plan

  After upgrading your plan, you can transfer your domain to WordPress.com.

  All the steps for transferring your domain to WordPress.com are explained here.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/#transferring-a-domain-to-wordpress-com

  – I want to learn how to create it (my brother-in-law) started it but looking to change/add things so I would need some help there.

  Here are few relevant support documents which will help you to get started.

  1. https://learn.wordpress.com/
  2. https://en.support.wordpress.com/create/
  3. https://en.support.wordpress.com/customize/
  4. https://en.support.wordpress.com/connect/
  5. https://en.support.wordpress.com/video-tutorials/
  6. https://en.support.wordpress.com/video-tutorials/get-started/

  I want to make sure that I have an email specific to my site (i.e. (email redacted))

  At WordPress.com we provide e-mail forwarding, but if you’d rather have full email hosting, you can connect another provider to your custom domain.

  You can read more about the Email account process here:

  Add Email to Your Domain

  Instead of emailing, I would really like to speak with me (at least at the start) since I am rather inarticulate about this all

  I can understand at the start all these things are quite intimidating, But I am sure that you’ll love it once you get used to it and after upgrading to paid plan you’ll get access to high-quality email support and live chat support with our Happiness Engineers.

  Hope this helps.

  Let us know if you have any questions further.
