  I’d like to have GoDaddy continue to host the site URL (I think that’s the correct term), but have WordPress create and house the actual contents. Is that doable? If so, what is the best way to achieve it? Thanks so very much!!

  It sounds like you want to keep the domain registration at GoDaddy but map the domain to a site hosted here on our servers. Is that correct?

  If so, here’s how to proceed:

  Also, you’ll want to be sure you understand the difference between our service and the free WordPress software:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
