Features of own domain mapping?
-
I am getting confused between website and blog. I don’t need blog and I just want to build and host my website. Will I get this, if I map my own domain?

This has nothing at all to do with domains.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

P.S. Already answered you here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/what-features-will-i-get-when-map-my-own-custom-domain?replies=2#post-2565403 What you get with a domain mapping upgrade is domain mapping and nothing else.

I am trying to map my existing domain but getting error message.
Sorry but julana.co.in has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.
But in my godaddy account this website is Active.

That’s because Staff have to add a zone record for you to be able to complete the process using that URL. Go back to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/what-features-will-i-get-when-map-my-own-custom-domain?replies=2#post-2565403 please
