  • Answer:

    I would not forwarding the domain from godaddy to your wordpress blog if you already bought a domain. 1. Ask godaddy what their dns servers are. 2. Once you know the dns server, go to your free webhost, and choose add domain somewhere. 3. Add your godaddy domain in this server, and change the dns (from godaddy) 4. Once the dns is set to godaddy's server, it will be automatically having this domain.

You need a web host supporting wordpress. Don't choose godaddy because of http://www.nodaddy.com You can keep your domain with godaddy and get it hosted with another web host. My recommended service: http://www.threehosts.com/publish/wordpress.html There you can find discount coupon and an useful video tutorial to learn how to install wordpress into your account to get your blog online at your purchased domain. Hope this helps.

Well, when you sign up for a wordpress site, they usually have an option, if you would like to use your own domain. Seeing as you signed up your site before you bought the domain, this could be a bit hard. Try logging in and going into your settings, and see if there's an option for a domain change. If this doesn't work, what I would recommend is asking the kind people at the Wordpress forums, or contacting the staff yourself.

1. Sign up with one of the recommended web hosts at http://buywebspacetoday.com/ 2. Go to your control panel and look for Fantastico or another application installer. Use this tool for a one-click install of Wordpress.
