  Hi vanshhbhardwaj

  There are two ways to connect an existing domain (Either by mapping your existing domain or transferring your domain) to your WordPress.com site.

  Mapping your domain to your WordPress.com site

  -This method connects your domain with your WordPress.com site, but the domain continues to be registered with whomever you initially purchased the domain from. You would continue to pay them for the domain renewal.

  Here is the support document for more details on domain mapping :

  Transferring your domain to WordPress.com site

  – This method helps you to transfer your domain to WordPress.com. The benefit of this is you can easily manage all your domains, hosting at one place. You just need to contact WOrdPress.com staff if you face any issues. Here is the support document for more details on domain transfer:

  Also, to add a custom domain to your site WordPress.com paid plan is required. To know more about plan pricing and features please refer to the link below:

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Hope this helps.
