Domain Registration Option
-
Hi
My current blog site is zookk.wordpress.com
If I buy the domain through wordpress my blog, will zookk.wordpress.com be still accessible?
-
With every WordPress.com blog, you get one free .wordpress.com domain. Even if you buy another domain, you will still have your zookk.wordpress.com domain.

if you purchase a domain mapping upgrade all that changes is the URLs, which will seamlessly redirect all visitors from the old URLs to the same content under the new domain URLs.

Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingIn order to map to a domain URL one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the new domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the new domain URLs.

We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
