I wanna ask , after i have transferred my website to wordpress.com , can i untransfer it later in the future? and after i have transferred my website to wordpress.com , does that mean i will loose my domain name of the website too? for example , if my website name is http://www.example.com, after transferring it to wordpress.comm will it become, http://www.example.wordpress.com ? or will i retain my domain name too.

Hi there,
Absolutely! If you transfer your site to WordPress.com you’ll be able to transfer it back to a different host in the future if needed.
You’ll find instructions on how to move your site to WordPress.com here: https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/
When moving your site to WordPress.com, it will be assigned a free .wordpress.com subdomain for starters.
However, if you already own a domain name that you prefer to continue using, you have 2 options; you could transfer it to WordPress.com – if you’d like to have both the domain and site content managed in one place. Otherwise, you could keep your current registrar and just map the domain to your WordPress.com hosted site.
There are detailed instructions on how to map a domain here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-common-domain-providers
And, more details for transferring a domain here: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/
It’s worth noting that you’ll need a paid WordPress.com plan to map a custom domain.
