  We want to upgrade our free website account to a paid premium account. We have a domain name registered with another company for an old website that we are closing out and want to use that url for the new upgraded account. It ends in .org and not .com. We don’t want to self-host. Is this possible and what do we need to do next?

  Hi! No problem at all. If you’d like to map the domain to a site on our server, you can use these steps:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  First, choose a plan here:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Next choose to map the domain: https://wordpress.com/domains

  Then point your domain to these name servers:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  If you need to add other DNS settings before you do that, you can:

  DNS Records

  Does that help? If not, send more details and we’ll go from there.
