Hi geodog12
Welcome to WordPress.
I am looking to point my domain from another host to the wordpress platform;
You can use your already purchased domain with WordPress in two ways.
1. Transferring the domain register with someone else to WordPress.com.
Here is the support document for transferring your domain to WordPress.com:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/prepare-domain-for-transfer/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/Please follow the steps in the above link to get your domain transferred.
One important thing is Transfer of domain can be done only if your domain is 60 days old (period varies for each registrar you can check this with your domain registrar)If your domain is not free from the initial period in which you can make your domain transfer as per your domain registrar then we can map this domain to the WordPress site.
2. Mapping your existing domain
Here is the support document for this that will help you in mapping your domain with WordPress:

Firstly you need to upgrade your site to WordPress paid plans as we can’t add the Custom domain under free plan.
To know more about the plan features and pricing please visit the link below:
https://wordpress.com/pricing/Each paid plan comes with a free domain credit you can use to either register a new domain, or either transfer or map one you already own.
what are the costs involved
– The cost will be for upgrading to the new plan and it might ask for the renewal of domain if it is about to expire.
Hope this helps.
