Domain name

We have a domain name that we bought awhile ago from Go Daddy. We need to use that domain name for our WordPress site. How do we use that previously purchased domain name on our current wordpress site? We want you to host us.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Please read this carefully first do you are aware of the limitations on WordPress.COM blogging https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/If applicable to your situation, for moving your content see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org
re: using your domain URL
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually individually and do note that a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.
If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and as you own that domain already you can see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
