  I have a hosting account with GoDaddy.com
  A domain (MadameMargherite.com) from 1and1.com

  What do I have to do to make my FetishElite.Wordpress.com site show up when people type MadameMargherite.com into their web browser’s address bar?

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

  This is what I’m trying to figure out. Not sure if it’s possible with three different parties, only two.

  You will need to set up Domain Mapping to use your domain with your WordPress.com site:

  Domain Mapping is included with all of the WordPress.com Plans:

  Thanks rootjosh, but what if the host I want to use is different from the place I purchased my domain? If I connect my domain (party 1) to my host (party 2), will I be able connect a wordpress site (party 3) to my host (party 2)? Is this possible?

  If you are building a WordPress.com site, you would not need a webhost at all. If you have a WordPress site through your webhost, that is a WordPress.org site and you would not need a WordPress.com site at all.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let me know if that does not make sense.

  rootjosh, thanks so much for clearing that up for me. As you can tell, I’m a total noob. Thanks for letting me know there was a distinction.

  Best regards :)
