    I don’t know what it means to transfer or map a domain

    Hi!

    In short, they are two different ways to associate a custom domain (yourgroovysite.com) with your WordPress.com site.

    https://wordpress.com/support/domain-mapping-vs-domain-transfer/

    Functionally, it really makes no difference. Both work equally well and will send users to your site when they enter your domain into their browser.

    What it really comes down to is if you have opinions on the ease of keeping your site billing in one place (one bill from WordPress.com vs a bill from WordPress.com and a bill from your domain registrar). Or if you have a particular reason to want to use an external registrar (perhaps you have many domains and want to keep them all registered in the same place).

    Take a look and let us know if anything is unclear or you have any further questions.
