Godaddy installation

    I’ve tried searching these forums for an answer to this problem to no avail.

    I set up a wordpress.com blog and then mapped a godaddy domain to the blog. All well and good.

    But I decided to change to a self managed wordpress.org blog, and thus purchased the godaddy wordpress hosting package.

    I installed wordpress on the domain and got an email saying that the installation was successful, but when i log into [blogname].com/wp-admin it is still the dashboard for the wordpress.com site, rather than wordpress.org.

    All i want to do is use my godaddy domain with a wordpress.org installation. Given that I have purchased godaddy’s wordpress hosting, how do I go about this?

    Any help much appreciated 🙂

    I set up a wordpress.com blog and then mapped a godaddy domain to the blog…

    …purchased the godaddy wordpress hosting package.

    I installed wordpress on the [hosting package]…

    You next need to map your domain to the self-hosting servers. But if you might first want to develop the new site, your host should be able to help you with a temporary URL to use until you make the switch.

    Hi @obligatory, I work at GoDaddy. Happy to help. Are you running cPanel self-hosted WordPress, or Managed WordPress?

    @ccarfi. If i buy an hosting account through “web hosting” then will i be getting the “install wordpress” option in thee cpanel? I mean will i be able to use the wordpress.org from there?

    @bigrambo – If you want to use WordPress.org and manage the system/server yourself, yes, you can do that by picking a web hosting package. Additionally, if you want an easier experience with the WordPress.org approach, you may also want to check out the Managed WordPress options. (Managed WordPress is still WordPress.org, but we handle caching, core upgrades, and a bunch of other bits.)
