  Interested in trying out WordPress.
  Is it necessary to do Domain Mapping, and what is plus or minus?

  Hi

  Domain mapping means you keep the domain registered with the company you purchased it from (the registrar), such as GoDaddy or 1&1, but point the domain here so it loads your WordPress.com site.

  For more information, Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping)

  I just want to add that since you’re only looking to try things out, that there’s no decision that needs to be made quite yet. Just set up a free blog with us and test things out. https://learn.wordpress.com/
