Question

[Niece] has christian-health.net through Godaddy. She wants to transfer it to WordPress because they help you set up a web site. A monthly fee can be paid for the domain name but after a year she will have to pay for the domain name and she's not sure how much that will cost.

She's wondering if she ought to cancel that domain and start with a new domain name through WordPress.

She could also get ChristianHealth.wordpress.com, which is free but it doesn't look professional and this is to be a business that doesn't look as though it's just a blog.

Do you know of a cheaper/better alternative?

Answer

She can use that domain name and assign it (transfer it) to whatever she has setup on WordPress.com. For instance, start with that ChristianHealth.wordpress.com domain name, then apply her own domain name (christian-health.net purchased through GoDaddy) to it. Or, just keep it on GoDaddy and use GoDaddy's WordPress setup process, which might be even easier. Either way works.
