WordPress.com and WordPress.org
WordPress.com is a hosting platform that makes it easy for anyone to publish online and is different from WordPress.org. This support doc explains the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org to help you decide which one is best for you.The migration guide is here: Coming from a self-hosted WordPress site? https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/
To use a domain URL you purchased elsewhere on any wordpress.COM site you will need to upgrade first and then map to an existing domain. To map an existing domain see http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
Alternatively, see http://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
https://wordpress.com/plans/You can use the Personal Plan if all you want is a custom domain, removal of advertising, live chat support and 6GB Storage Space but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically. Go to http://wordpress.com/plans to upgrade.
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping and that underlying .wordpress.com URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.
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 .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
