  Newbie here. If I register my domain name as Juicyfruit.net, for example, would
  my URL be Juicyfruit.net or Juicyfruit.wordpress.com?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It would be Juicyfruit.net but you will need domain mapping as well so your traffic gets directed to Juicyfruit.net when someone types Juicyfruit.wordpress.com

  Search Results for: domain

  Thanks. I would prefer to have Juicyfruit.wordpress.com rather than
  juicyfruit.net. How would I get it that way.

  If you start the blog as juicyfruit.wordpress.com, then you already have that; if you’ve added another domain mapped name to it, just switch which domain is primary.

  If you register juicyfruit.net somewhere else and don’t do anything else, then you only have the name, you don’t have the blog. You’ll have to register a blog here before you can have ANY domain name attached to your blog, obviously.
