    I would like to add my domain to my blog, what is the fee to upgrade my blog?

    There is no way to map to a custom domain from any wordpress.COM blog without paying for an annual upgrade to map from an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL to an existing domain URL.

    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you do not register a .wordpress.com blog URL first then the software supplies the dot whatever URL so you can proceed with your domain mapping purchase.

    See https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

    Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

    Your only options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

    It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

    Thank you for replying to my inquiry, I appreciate it.

    I need additional assistance from you to better understand.

    1) I purchased my mihran-kalaydjian.com from hover.
    2) If I upgrade my current blog to premium, this package will include my own domain name, powerful customization options, and lots of space for audio and video.

    If I upgrade my blog to the premium, than I can use my mihran-kalaydjan.com domain with no additional charge.

    Please let me know if this correct.

    Thanks,
    Mihran

    Yes, if you buy the Premium plan you will be able to map your domain “mihran-kalaydjian.com” with no additional cost to use with your WordPress.com site.
