  All wordpress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com subdomains and an underlying .wordpress.COM blog URL is required for domain mapping.

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for adivasheart.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping from http://adivasheartdotcom.wordpress.com/ to it.

  All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com

  re: purchasing your own custom domain

  The prices are found at > Dashboard > Store and here https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  You can only purchase one year at a time. Every upgrade applies to a single blog only and is a one-year subscription that requires renewal at years’ end.

  All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the domain URLs.

  You can simply publish a post providing the new URL to your existing subscribers and ask them to subscribe to the new URL.

  Please read Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Your payment methods are here https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  Your upgrade history will be here Dashboard > Store> My Upgrades
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History

  After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
