Installed the WordPress Application on my Go Daddy Hosting. So does that mean all is good? When I access my admin it is still coming up .com. * I don’t see a dashboard or wordpress.org like I have on wordpress.com * [wpgeekindia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpgeekindia/) * (@wpgeekindia) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/starting-installation/#post-3393425) * please give me your domain name.. i wish to see it… * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/starting-installation/#post-3393426) * What url did you use when you installed WordPress? And is the same url as your wordpress.com site? * Thread Starter [monogramsandmakeovers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monogramsandmakeovers/) * (@monogramsandmakeovers) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/starting-installation/#post-3393430) * Yes, used my url monogramsandmakeovers.com * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/starting-installation/#post-3393436) * You cannot use the same domain name on 2 sites simultaneously. You need to point monogramsandmakeovers.com to your new self-hosted site and then wait for up to 72 hours for the change to propagate fully. * Thread Starter [monogramsandmakeovers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monogramsandmakeovers/) * (@monogramsandmakeovers) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/starting-installation/#post-3393439) * How do I do that?

GoDaddy should be able to assist you with this. * [straitanswers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/straitanswers/) * (@straitanswers) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/starting-installation/#post-3393499) * @monograms… * Did you try this link to access your WP files on your server?
