Why is my domain name include wordpress.com when I requested the it includes .com?

stylewithamanda.com is hosted by GoDaddy.com
Although stylewithamanda.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.

Know that it is not uncommon for your own ISP to be last to flush their DNs cache. You can view the DNS changes here > https://www.whatsmydns.net/
What’s important during that stage is to be patient. -
