Domain Name v. Website name
-
I have my own domain name. If I transfer it will .wordpress show up in the website name?

Hi there :)
No, .wordpress will not show up in the website name.
There are two ways to use a domain that you’ve purchased elsewhere with another registrar – Domain Mapping and Domain Transferring.
Domain Mapping means that you connect your domain with your WordPress.com site, but you renew the domain at your registrar (where you bought the domain) and renew your site plan here at WordPress.com.
Domain Transfer means that your domain’s registration is moved over to WordPress.com, and we then become your registrar, so all future renewals of your domain and plan for your WordPress.com site are managed and paid on your WordPress.com account.
