UPGRADE WORDPRESS BLOG DOMAIN AND GET MATCHING MAILBOX NAME

I have a WordPress blog, https://paysuredreams.wordpress.com, I want to upgrade to paysuredreams.com domain. Is it possible to acquire a mailbox to match my paysuredreams.com domain name? If so, how can I upgrade to paysuredreams.com domain and the matching mailbox?

WordPress.com does not provide email service for domains. Please consult the support docs:

All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the domain URLs.
Please read Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
if you already have a website you don’t want to affect, and you want to add a blog to it under a subdomain (for example, blog.yourgroovydomain.com) see here http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/
After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Hi there,
Soon I will be upgrading my WordPress blog URL to a dot com domain. If I upgrade my blog URL to a dot com domain, then all my subscribers will have to follow suit. Does WordPress have an affiliate program to facilitate this process as I promote the upgrade in my my blog? Do info me how I can go about to acquire the affiliate referral links to be inserted into my blog post and pages.
Thanks,
Nicholas T Goosen
