Hi asparanj,
What is the URL of your existing site? It sounds like you want to move that site to WordPress.com and use the domain here, is that correct?
Once I know more, I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

Yes, you got it right. http://www.arvindparanjape.in is my existing site, which I want to move to weordpress. Please guide me. thanks.

If you are able to generate an .xml file of your existing content, you should be able to import it into your WordPress.com site:
If not, it will need to be copied over to WordPress.com manually.
We don’t currently accept incoming domain transfers however, you can ‘map’ the domain to your new site with Domain Mapping:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
Domain mapping is a feature of paid plans and each plan includes a domain credit — this can be used to register a new domain or map one you already own. You will need to continue renewing the domain with your current registrar as renewal is only included in plans if the domain was registered through WordPress.com.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
