Need to connect a domain to wordpress blog

Hi, I own a domain arpanganguli.com (through Go Daddy). I want to be able to connect and manage it through WordPress. Can you please suggest how I can do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi arpanganguli –
Of course, happy to help!
There’s 2 options to bring that domain over to WordPress.com.
1. Transfer it to WordPress and manage all site related things in one place. Here are the details: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/prepare-domain-for-transfer/
2. Leave it registered with GoDaddy and map it to WordPress.com. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

Thank you! When I try to map it (the second option), then I get the following message – This domain expired recently. To get it back please contact support.
The reason is because I used to own this domain till recently, but for some personal reasons I had to shut it down. I am back now and have re-bought this domain. Is it possible that WP could please re-map it?

I’m seeing that the domain has a 2020 expiration year now, so can you try again?
Also, I’m seeing that you have closed the account that you are logged in here with, which is the account that the domain name was attached to.
Can you reply back here and let us know what you are wanting? Which site are you wanting to map that domain to?
