    Have domain name from GoDaddy, need only WordPress site but no hosting

    I have a domain name with Godaddy, & hosting with some other services.
    I only need to build a WordPress site from GoDaddy, as I bought a domain name from it.
    But I don't want to loose hosting from another platform. Is there any way to only use WordPress site builder but not hosting?

    Short answer, no. If you want that domain name attached to a WordPress site at GoDaddy, you'll need to purchase hosting.

     

    If you just want to attach your domain to a different site, you just change the DNS. If your hosting at the other provider will allow you to have multiple sites on your hosting, you should be able to just point the domain towards that hosting and build your site out there.
