  Hello!

  You can do that with domain mapping:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Domain mapping is available on all the paid WordPress.com hosting plans, but not the Free plan.

  When you upgrade a free site to a paid plan, or when you create a new site with a paid plan, you will have the option to choose domain mapping during the purchase process.

  The listing at this link will show you which TLD’s are compatible with domain mapping to a WordPress.com site:

  Hi @bigxpose, just noting too, you can map any domain to our service, even it’s not on the list. With mapping, you’ll keep your domain with your current registrar, and simply point it to our name servers.

  Or, if you opt to transfer instead, you’ll need to refer to the list @drizzleblocks posted.

  Transferring is free for the first year with a paid plan, and will add another year to your domain registration.

  Let us know if you have more questions!

  @supernovia,

  noted:

  Thank you for this clarification.
