Hi there, if you purchased your domain with WordPressdotcom, you’ll need to change your domain’s DNS pointers to your jooster hosted website. You do that in your site’s domain dashboard. https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/change-name-servers/
Looking at a WHOIS entry, it looks like that domain was just recently registered. Do not cancel it to register it somewhere else. Use the guide I linked to so that you can use your domain on your jooster site. Once the ICANN required 60 days have passed, you can start a domain transfer to a different registrar.
Let us know if you have other questions about this. I’ve also tagged this for Staff input.

can you help me fix it, cause primarily what i wanted to happen is move it to worpress.org and not wordpress.com

Or how to remove my domain to wordpress.com, so i can then continue to create it in wordpress.org

Hello,
You would still need to wait at least 60 days in order to transfer the domain to your WordPress.org website even if you remove from your WordPress.com website, it’s a standard procedure with all custom domains because it is required by ICANN.
In the meantime, you can map the domain to your WordPress.org by following the procedure in the page linked by justjennifer:If you want to use your domain registered with WordPress.com with a new host, go to your Domains page (My Sites → Manage → Domains) then select the domain you want to edit.
Select Name Servers and DNS
Disable the “Use WordPress.com Name Servers” option.
Enter the name servers you want to use. These can be obtained from your new host or provider.
Select Save Custom Name Servers.That way, you can point the domain to your WordPress.org blog until it can be permanently trasnferred.
Remember that this procedure may take up to 72 hours to complete. If you want to read more go the page linked by justjennifer, it has lots of useful informations -
if that is the case them i think it’s better to recover my wordpress.com site so once recovred i can just transfer it to wordpress.org
Is there any way i can recover the deleted wordpress.com site?

Hi thekolagroup,
Is there any way i can recover the deleted wordpress.com site?
Please reply to the confirmation email you received when the account was closed, as soon as you can — we can then follow up there and look at your options.
As @airalis93 and @justjennifer mentioned, newly registered domains are transfer locked for the first 60 days. However, they can be pointed to another host until those 60 days have passed (by changing the name servers).
But we can go through that in more detail once you’ve emailed us.
Thanks!
