  Hi there,

  All sites created on WordPress.com get a free example.wordpress.com address. That is the address where your site lives on our servers.

  You can hide that address behind a custom domain you can either buy from us, or point to us using our domain mapping upgrade. As you’ve bought your domain already from GoDaddy, you’ll want the second option here.

  Note that using your own custom domain with a WordPress.com site will require that you upgrade to one of our paid plans.
