  if you are talking about wordpress.com yes you need to pay for domain mapping…

  Domain mapping means to map your current url to your desired url

  Exanmple: I have a blog called “abc.wordpress.com” but i bought a domain called “abc.com” So by using domain mapping people would be able to access my blog when i type abc.com
