  There are two ways to use a domain you already own with a site hosted at WordPress.com:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Due to ICANN regulations (the organization which oversees all domain registrars), domain’s cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer, so in this case you’ll need to map the domain.
