  You can move it at any time, however, you cannot use a custom domain on a WordPress.COM site without purchasing an upgrade.

  The migration guide is here: Coming from a self-hosted WordPress site? https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/

  If you are not importing content from a self-hosted WordPress site see here: Importing Content from Another Platform https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/#importing-content-from-another-platform

  To use a domain URL you purchased elsewhere on any wordpress.COM site you will need to upgrade first and then map to an existing domain. To map an existing domain see http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
  Alternatively, see Incoming domain transfer http://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
  https://wordpress.com/plans/

  You can use the Personal Plan if all you want is a custom domain, removal of advertising, live chat support and 6GB Storage Space but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically. Go to http://wordpress.com/plans to upgrade.

  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping and that underlying .wordpress.com URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.

  What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Thank you
  Is a Personal upgrade good for Google Adsense on my blog?

  No.

  Please read this support doc: Monetize Your Site https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/

  If you’d like to self-manage third-party ad networks like Google AdSense, OpenX, Lijit, BuySellAds, and Vibrant Media, those options are available on the WordPress.com Business Plan. Sites on the Premium Plan and below can run WordAds, which optimizes buyers including Google AdSense but they cannot self-manage ad networks.
