  I wanted to purchase the business package to build my website. I am new to WordPress. Not interested in a blog at this point. I checked the box to use the address I own which is bylone.com and instead it assigned me bylonedotcom.wordpress.com. This is not what I want. If I start building my site this way, will I be able to convert it over to the domain name I want to use?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,
  If you already have your own domain name, you only need to map it to your WordPress. Create your WP site first. Then go to: https://wordpress.com/domains
  Select your WP Site and you’ll find an option that says “Already own a domain?” Purchase this option and follow the steps described in the following link:
