  Hi there,
  You have two options for using a domain registered elsewhere on a site hosted on WordPress.com:
  Domain mapping which allows you to host your site with us and keep
  your domain at your current registrar which is DreamHost.
  Read more about how that works:

  Or,
  If you’d like everything to be managed at one place, then go for domain transfer. That means we’ll become your registrar. We’ll handle all future renewals of your domain and plan for your WordPress.com site. Everything is managed and paid on your WordPress.com account.
