  It’s possible to use WordPress for a co.uk domain name? Obviously I don’t want it to be ‘mynamecouk.wordpress.com’ but that seems to be what WordPress creates. I know nothing about this kind of stuff so I imagine I’m missing some steps

  Unfortunately although you can purchase a brand new .co.uk domain here at WordPress.com due to various arcane reasons in the UK that I’m not privvy to currently you can’t transfer an existing one here.

  The only way to use your domain with a site here is if you transfer it to somewhere else like Namecheap and then you can connect it to a WordPress.com site using domain mapping with a paid plan:
