# Question!!!

 * I own a domain name through godaddy.com and would like to install wordpress and
   use it as my website under that domain name. Is this possible? For example if
   I own celticspride.net could I install wordpress and have it be my main website.
   I emailed godaddy and they said I could install it, but they could not do it 
   for me… how would I go about this? Thanks.

 * See the thing is I really only own the domain right now through godaddy… I do
   not have a hosting plan… am I not able to set up a wordpress site without a hosting
   plan? Also if I need a hosting plan are there any good free ones? Thanks!

 * Awardspace.ocm is free. GoDaddy sometimes will give you a free hosting credit
   with domain registration

   wordpress…. if I use it do you think it will work?

 * Yeah I read that, I just don’t understand it really because I am very new to 
   the Godaddy hosting… can we speak outside of the forums? Like on AIM or something…
   I could really use the help on getting this site going… it is ok if not.

 * You would have it up and running by tonight, if you’d drop a line over [here](http://install4free.wordpress.com/2006/06/25/get-in-touch/).
   The quicker you ask there, the quicker it will get done. 😉 =)

 * you can also buy a hosting plan from a different site, and still use the domain
   you got at godaddy
 * And yes, you can put the wordpress site at the top level of your domian
