  Hi –

  That domain can get connected through domain mapping. This is how you set that up: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  – go to https://wordpress.com/plans/ and select the personal option
  – add the personal plan to your account
  – click on My Sites – Tools – Domains – Add New – Map it!
  – go to your domain provider and update the name servers to WordPress.com

  Write back if you need more help.
