  To use that domain with a site here, you have two options:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Hi there,

  As explained in both the support pages staff-blorbo linked to above, you would need to upgrade to a paid plan in order to either map or transfer your domain to us.

  Mapping is free as part of a plan for any number of domains on the same site.

  One domain transfer is free as part of the plan, and from the next year onwards the domain will renew at an additional cost on top of the plan.
