  WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. You can, however, map an existing domain.

  In order to remove the .wordpress.com URL and replace that with a domain URL you have to purchase an upgrade. See https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  See: Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog – if you already have a domain that you registered and purchased elsewhere. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Do you already own the URL for the domain? If you did purchase it already then Staff will have to enter a zone record for you after you purchase an upgrade.

  I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

  It can take up to 72 hours for the name servers to finish updating. It looks like that process is still busy:

  Once the name servers are fully updated your site should be working.
