  Hi @ndyamaka, no problem.

  First you’ll use these steps to export your old site and import it here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/

  Then you’ll buy a plan so you can map your domain:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Then add the domain here with the plan credit:
  https://wordpress.com/domains

  Finally, you’ll update the domain settings at GoDaddy so that the name works here. That last step can take several hours to take effect. If you need help with any step along the way, let us know.
