  You would have to register it elsewhere. The registar they use here will only support *.com, *.net and *.org domains.

  Register it over at netfirms, tell netforms to use the wordpress nameservers, and then come over here and sign up at Dashboard -> Upgrades -> Domains. It’s ten bucks on this end for a year of mapping.

  If Netfirms is charging you ten for a domain for a year, then yes. Ten to them, and ten to wp.com.
