  Hi there @cbdeeznuts, in order to map a custom domain here on WordPressdotcom, you first need to register a WordPressdotcom website (mysite.wordpress.com) and then purchase an upgrade plan which includes mapping your domain.

  Here’s more about that https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Give that a read and let us know if you have any other question about it.
