  Hi there,

  I am tagging this thread modlook, staff can help you.

  In order to use your custom domain, you have to purchase a plan first. Once you do that, you can map or transfer your domain as required.

  Domain Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  The domain itself can be transferred to WordPress.com with these steps:
  Domain Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  You can find the pricing and plan information over here:

  In case you are currently using WordPress.org software and also wish to move the content over to WordPress.com, below article documentation may be useful:

  Hope this help
