  I’d like to point a second url I own (purchased through crazydomains.co.uk) to my wordpress.com-hosted wordpress site (for which I already have a custom domain name), so that both domain names take me to my wordpress site. Please can you help? Thank you.

  Hi there!

  You would need to purchase the domain mapping upgrade and change your nameservers on crazydomains.co.uk to point to WordPress.com. Here’s more information on this upgrade:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  You want your nameservers set to:
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  The nameserver changes may take up to 48 hours to complete. Then, in your site’s dashboard under Store -> Domains, you can set your primary domain to the domain of your choice. All other domains will automatically forward to your primary domain.

  I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
