  Thanks timethief. I’m following and now I’m at the step —> https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-name-servers/

  I don’t see all those options within the free WordPress blog, but on Godaddy I have a section called Add-On Domains. Is that equivalent?

  Hi @torah4tmh, you wouldn’t be able to use your torah4tmh.wordpress.com address at GoDaddy, as there’s no way to modifyt he nameserver settings for that. You would need a custom domain through them instead.

  If you’d like, though, you can get a site redirect that would send users from the old address to the new one:
