Are you asking how to map to an existing domain from an underlying .wordpress.com site?
re: mapping an existing domain
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.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 the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
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 sub-domain 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 have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, 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/
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.

It was a bit tech for me. I tried to map “emc.edu.au” and it says its not registered. I double checked with the host business and yep, its registered. Tried avis.com.au as a test and its accepted.

Sorry but emc.edu.au has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped. -
Have you read this entry?
Available Domains https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#available-domainsIf the domain extension you want to use is not available for registration on WordPress.com, you can register elsewhere and add it to your WordPress.com blog using Domain Mapping. https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

Hi
Thats the option i was using. For a domain already registered. WordPress rejected the “registered domain” as unregistered -
That domain extension is not available for purchase through wordpress.COM. We know that because it is not listed here https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#available-domains
You need to register the domain with a domain registrar who sells domains with the extension you want. Then after you have successful done that you will be able to do this https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

I used https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

Thanks, in advance, for waiting patiently for Staff to assist you after they work their way through threads tagged for their attention that were tagged prior to me tagging this one.

Hi @phildenmeade, I’ve mapped the domain manually for you. Please go ahead and renew it here so it will be active for the year:
https://wordpress.com/my-upgradesWhen that’s done and the domain is pointed at our name servers, you can update the primary domain here:
