A little help please..? Has anyone got any experience of setting up a blog/website through Go Daddy's 'Manged WordPress' offering? Or any thoughts on a better way to go? I've no idea what I'm doing here, so all help gratefully received before it costs me money. Thank you.
That's the main function, yes. But I also want the ability to publish documents/images/videos going forward and retain ownership of any content I create. I'm getting quoted separate prices for hosting, SSL certificate & a security package right now. I'm afraid I'm a little lost.

Got a little experience in using GoDaddy basic package for a CIC but we pay an inclusive fee as a business.
@SjMaskell is more knowledgeable on this than me. -
Go Daddy do a month’s free trial for building a website, in which you can incorporate a blog. Best thing to do is go and have a play and see if it’s what you want. You do have to be a bit inventive with the template. Don’t know about videos. https://uk.godaddy.com/

Thank you both. The salesman (which may be significant) was steering me away from the 'build a website' option I can see when I sign into Go Daddy and look at the domain I've purchased. Suggested that would be harder to later monetise and something else... which I forget. Valid?

Difficult to know. Sorry.

Appreciated, thanks anyway. I can already see that WordPress themselves offer 3 paid packages - and even the most expensive business package is £100 cheaper than I've been quoted. With unlimited storage vs a 10gb limit. Hmmm...

I have embedded videos in a free wordpress site. Like anything, it's about you getting to know the software and what you want to achieve. You can embed adverts for small income that offset costs. You have to be comfortable with the budget costs first.

I guess this is going to be a journey? I was rather hoping an obvious plug & play option was going to present itself, but I now think that's looking a little naïve. Baby steps. Thanks again John.

WordPress will involve more learning. If you want more tools/options then you are looking at Wix or Squarespace. GoDaddy is in-between in costs/facilities.
