  Hi there,

  If you prefer to keep your domain registered with your current provider, you can use it with your WordPress.com site by domain mapping.

  There are two important steps to mapping your domain to your WordPress.com site.

  Attaching your domain to your WordPress.com site
  Updating your domain name’s name servers to point to WordPress.com

  You can read more about domain mapping and the steps to do it in this support document here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  In case you are looking to transfer your domain, please refer the document: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks!
