Howdy,
Could you give me a few more details about what you’re trying to accomplish? For example, are you looking for a temporary redirect while you build your site on WordPress.com?
You might want to check out the Site Redirect upgrade to see if it’s right for you:

Yes, I very much like the WP interface for building websites. I have tried many and this one is the simplest to learn and use.
However, I am now beginning to drive traffic to my site and would like to seek ways to monetize it, that is, gain advertising and other such methods of drawing an income that is not permitted with wordpress.
So I figured if I hosted with another company, paying something to WP for the routing thereof, could I continue to use the WP interface for my site?
I only ask because I tried to get into Adwords and was rejected. If I must leave WP, I will, for my family and income comes first, but I do not want to.
I hope this clarifies,

You can actually still continue to use WordPress by just installing the software.
If you’re interested, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
http://wordpress.org/support/
http://codex.wordpress.org/We do offer yearly and one-time premium support packages for self-hosted WordPress sites through our VIP program, available at http://vip.wordpress.com
