  If you are keeping your domain name with its current registrar, you can use a paid upgrade, domain mapping, to connect it here to your WordPress.com website. More info here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  But I see you have only just now signed up for this site, so I would like to point out that there are different flavors of WordPress. You’ll want to read this to understand better the differences: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
