  Hi, I currently have a domain set up with another hosting. I wish to inquire more about the two types of ways I can create a website with WordPress with my current domain.

  Hi there,

  Whether you map or transfer your existing domain, you will need to purchase a WordPress.com plan:

  http://wordpress.com/plans

  The difference is who you want to host your domain. If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll manage the domain. You’ll pay for the mapping and the plan here (domain is included within the plan price for the first year).

  But, if you keep the domain at your current host and map the domain to WordPress.com, you current host will continue to manage the domain and you’ll need to pay them for hosting your domain.

  Thanks!
