  Hi there!

  No worries, you can keep the free domain (one ending with .wordpress.com) while you work on your site and only map or transfer your custom domain once you’re ready.

  If you decide to map your domain – it will stay with the current registrar and you’ll need to go to their site to manage anything domain related.

  You can transfer the domain to WordPress.com and we’ll be your new registrar. This way you’ll manage everything from one place and you’ll be able to reach support with any domain related-issues :)

  Here you can find more information: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-mapping-vs-domain-transfer/
