  Hi,

  Actually, your blog is, in fact, a website. It’s just a matter of semantics :-)

  Yes, you can use a domain name that you already own. This is done by Domain Mapping, and it’s a paid upgrade. Please read the following document for instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  To set up your website, just follow the steps in the following document: https://en.support.wordpress.com/five-step-website-setup/

  Hope this helps.
