Here’s how to purchase an upgrade and domain map to a URL you already own.
All wordpress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com subdomains.
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.Domain forwarding is not supported and as wordpress.COM hosted sites do not have permanent IP addresses it will fail.
Domain mapping is not done free of charge. The charge is $13 per year for mapping an existing domain that you already own.

Important Notes Before Upgrading
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingIf you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog URL, 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 also renew the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
NOTE: 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 subdomain 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.

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.
WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their subdomains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs:
