  Of course the current people we are hosting with will not do anything to explain.

  Unfortunately, while we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. I therefore recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar (or transfer it to another registrar, if you are not happy with your current one). You can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/
