  Hello, I would like to create a website on wordpress. I purchased a domain some time ago on Go Daddy and would like to use it however I am not sure if I should transfer or connect, what’s best?

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  It’s more a personal preference type of thing, really.

  Connecting allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  So, basically, are you an “all of your eggs in one basket” type of person, or “not all of your eggs in one basket”? :)

  I hope that helps!

  Thank you! I decided to reunite all of my eggs together to make it easier ;) since I am at the early stages there are no impacts really of doing so.
  Thanks for your answer!
