I am looking to upgrade my current plan. If I do the $2.99 a month upgrade will I be able to direct people to my site through cilnmedia.com or will I still be registered as cilnblog.com? In my shopping cart right now it indicates
WordPress.com Personal – annual subscription
cilnblog.com 35.88 USD
(2.99 USD x 12 months)Domain Registration – annual subscription
cilnmedia.com
Free with your planPrivate Registration – annual subscription
cilnmedia.com
Free with your planThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are no monthly payment plans. We are billed annually and we must pay for all upgrades in full at the time of purchase after selecting a plan. Each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed. (The only exceptions are one time upgrades for premium themes and guided transfers.)
The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.

Before you upgrade
Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/Also read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/How domain mapping works
What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/How to upgrade
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard, select a plan and purchase upgrades at > Dashboard> Store > My Upgrades

Hi there,
cilnblog.com belongs to another user on your site, belle3bellerina, and is currently set as your site’s primary domain. That’s why it shows in the checkout page. However, the new domain, cilnmedia.com, will be registered as part of your plan, and then you can set that as the primary domain if you want that to be the domain that people see when they visit your site.
If you want to get rig of cilnblog.com completely, you’ll need to log in as the belle3bellerina username account to cancel it.
