# GoDaddy and WordPress.com

 * Created a WP.com blog and want to start advertising and selling on it, so instead
   of [http://www.mysite.wordpress.com](http://www.mysite.wordpress.com), I want
   to use [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com)
 * [x] Bought Godaddy Linux Host
    [x] Installed WP in it [x] MYSQL DB up and running
 * What I believe that I can do is download my WP.com site into a file, then upload
   it into WP.org via [http://mysite.com/wp-admin/](http://mysite.com/wp-admin/)
 * I have read all the tutorials, watched the YouTubes, and nothing seems to help.
   When you install the WP app in godaddy, you are asked for user name and PW, I’m
   assuming this is to access the [http://mysite.com/wp-admin/](http://mysite.com/wp-admin/)
   which will get me into a WP.org blog – I have tried my WP.com user name/pw, a
   original user name/pw and this username/pw none of them works to get me in. If
   I have to Download the 2.8.4, then make the changes and FTP it, that is fine 
   too, but I can’t do anything without being able to get into [http://mysite.com/wp-admin/](http://mysite.com/wp-admin/)
   
   Can I? Help! Thanks.

 * Okay. I’ve figured it out. you can NOT (NO NEVER NOT) have your WP.com site (
   www.mysite.wp.com) forwarded to your [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com),
   I just took it off on a whim and DING! It worked, sorry ppl
