  There’s only one way to map from a wordpress.com blog to a domain URL and that’s via a paid annually renewable custom domain mapping upgrade.

  Your content stays exactly where it is. All that changes is the URLs and your visitors are seamlessly redirected from the original .wordpress.com URLs to the same content under the new domain URLs.

  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
  All About Domains http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/

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

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  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.

  Hi and thanks for your prompt and informative reply :)

  So if I understand right in order to get a http://www.xyz.com I should get a domain mapping upgrade prior checking availability of domain. Will I get any email accounts with the new URL?
  thanks :-)
