  Hi darkandthebeautiful

  You can achieve both easily all depends on you whether you want to map your domain or you want that domain to transfer to WordPress.com.

  Transferring domain will help you to manage all the purchases at one place with WordPress.com.

  Here is the support document that will help you to know more about how to transfer your domain to WordPress.com:

  Note:- If you have registered your domain with namecheap in less than 60 days then you can’t be able to transfer it to us as each registrar have policy of 60 days lockin period in which you can’t transfer your domain to any other registrar. In that case you have to map your domain with us.

  Mapping your domain with us:

  If you prefer to keep your domain registered with your current provider, you can use it with your WordPress.com site by domain mapping.
  Here is the support document that will help you in step by step information on how to map your domain:

  let me know if you have any doubts.

  Hope this helps.
