  Can I still keep the free plan with the personal plan?

  No. You need to select one or the other. You can use the Personal Plan if all you want is a custom domain, removal of advertising, live chat support and 6GB Storage Space but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.

  Go to http://wordpress.com/pricing to upgrade.

  Hi there,

  Just to add to @timethief’s answer, you’ll still have the free address of your site, even if you’re on a paid plan. The Personal Plan allows you to register a custom domain, but even if you do that, you’ll also still have the free address, and it will work along with your custom address.

  And should you ever decide to cancel your domain or your plan, you will go back to the free address, and all the content you added while upgraded will still be there.

  Thanks for your help! As you suggest, I will register a custom domain with the personal plan and keep the free address,: just what I want to do.
