Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.
How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.

Hi there,
To use a domain you already own with a WordPress.com site you will need a paid plan. Go to My Site ->Plans and purchase one of the plans, and then you’ll be able to either map or transfer your domain here:
Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping)
Transferring a domain you already own to WordPress.com
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.
We started supporting incoming domain transfers in December last year. Please see the link above for details.
