  Here are the steps to map a domain name you already own to a WordPress.com blog:

  1. Update the name servers to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM, and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM through the registrar where you purchased the domain
  2. Wait for the name server update to propagate (usually takes a few hours)
  3. Add the domain to the form at the top of the Upgrades -> Domains page in your WordPress.com blog
  4. Click the “Add domain to blog” button
  5. Follow the prompts to purchase the domain mapping upgrade

  These steps are also posted in this help page if you need to refer back to it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Once you have domain mapping setup, you can control whether that domain or the wordpress.com domain is primary from the Store → Domains page in the blog dashboard, and you can always remove the domain entirely from there if you’d like as well.
