  Hey montefat,

  It doesn’t matter from where you have bought your domain, you can use that domain at WordPress.com either by mapping or transferring it.

  To transfer, the domain name should be at least 60 days old. If not, then you can simply map it.
  Please check these support documents.

  You should also know that to use a custom domain, you require one of the paid plans.
