 * Hey, I have a wordpress.com site, I purchased hosting and the domain at wordpress.
   com. However, I want a wordpress.org site, but I didn’t know that at the time
   of registration. Since they can’t be hosted from WordPress, I got a hosting plan
   with GoDaddy. Now I have no idea what to do. I want to keep the same domain name.

   been uploaded point your browser to install.php

   so that domain name points to Go daady host account. Go Daddy can given name
