  Hi,

  I need an assist on web hosting and domain. I purchase the basic WordPress hosting plan (2 year subscription) and domain (3 year subscription) via godaddy.com and need to sync it with my existing wordpress site (penerbitggkabel.wordpress.com).

  It would be very helpful if the team can help me on this subject. Looking forward for the reply.

  Thanks

  Hi there!

  To avoid confusion, there are three different “WordPress” at play here:

  1. The free, open-source WordPress software which powers your website.
  2. WordPress.org which is the open-source project that works on the WordPress software and where you can get the software for free to use on your own hosting provider.
  3. WordPress.com which is a managed hosting provider of the WordPress software and with whom you’re contacting now.

  Is your intention to install the WordPress software over at GoDaddy? Or are you wanting to instead host your website with us here at WordPress.com? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  If you just have general WordPress questions, please reach out to the WordPress community for guidance:

  I hope that clarifies things!
