linking my domain to wordpress
-
I only want to link my domain to a wordpress account. I do not want to change any of the DNS settings or otherwise redirect my domain from my current provider. how do I do this?
-
So, unless I’m misunderstanding your request, the short answer is “You can’t”.
It is generally not possible to point a domain to a WordPress.com without changing the DNS in some way. Nameservers being the most common, but A Records also being a possibility.
Is there a reason that neither of those options will work for you?

Heres the issue, I have a domain with wordpress installed hosted on a server other than WordPress. I recently upgraded Jetpack and am unable to configure its settings without being told to select which wordpress site I want to use. Im not able to find a workaround for this. Any ideas?

Ok, since that is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, you can still work with it on WordPress.com, but you’ll need to install the Jetpack plugin to do that: https://jetpack.com/support/getting-started-with-jetpack/
-
And, if you do have Jetpack installed already, you’ll need to connect it from the Jetpack section of your site’s Dashboard.

That’s it … it is connected through Jetpack, however I’m dull getting the pro.pt that requires me to select the wordpress site. My connected site through Jetpack is not showing as an option in wordpress.

Ah, the site is connected to a different WordPress.com account, not the one you’re currently logged in to.
You can either log in under the connect account, or try disconnecting Jetpack from WordPress.com at Jetpack > Dashboard > Site Connection > Manage Site Connection in your site’s Dashboard, then connect again when prompted to the desired account.
