:: Anything Goes Blog ::

Wordpress as default are leaving your site URL as yoursite.wordpress.com the same thing as Blogspot do. If you want to convert it into .com then you'll gonna have to own domain hosting first. You can see the domain hosting list from here or here



Here i'll list down the step for you to follow but keep in mind that this step have been tested only in GoDaddy ver 2.8.7 other version than these, i don know

1. The first thing you'll need to do is to open a new account at GoDaddy

2. Start by selecting Linux as your Operating System and purchase monthly hosting plan.



After that, Search for your .com domain and purchase one years plan for $7 - $14. If the price is a bit too much for you, then you can subscribe to their newsletter and wait until they send you Coupon Code to lower the price

3. Congratulation, you just made a new .com domain and with monthly hosting plan, but we still need more steps so click on Hosting Account (Hosting > My Hosting Account), select your domain, click manage account next to your domain and configure all your personal information, now its time to wait until they approved your new domain account. (It may takes up to 24 hours to get approved)

4. After you got approved, click on Content > Go Daddy Hosting Connection



5. On the left side panel, click on Blog > Wordpress



6. Once you click it, you should be able to see Install Now button, see the screenshot below.



You click that and fill all the personal information. This personal information will be used for your Wordpress

7. Once you’ve finished, you’ll be directed to a page that saying "Your Installation Request for Wordpress xxx has been submitted" Click on my application and see the status

8. Wait patiently for your wordpress to be fully installed (approximately 5 - 7 minutes) Then refresh it. If your wordpress has been successfully installed, you'll then see this message
