  You can’t transfer the domain name registration but you can map your domain name to your blog here – then your domain name will show in the browser address line when people visit your site

  You already have a web site – it is your blog – a blog is just a special type of web site – the easiest way to get a “real” web site is to just tell people that you have a web site and skip the part about it being hosted on a blog platform :)
