  I have already purchased a domain name, and would like to use there here for this site. Is my only option upgrading to the premium plan to do so?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. You can, however, map an existing domain.

  In order to remove the .wordpress.com URL and replace that with a domain URL you have to purchase an upgrade. See https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  See: Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog – if you already have a domain that you registered and purchased elsewhere. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  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 to the original content.

  Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

  We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
