  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping and that underlying .wordpress.com URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.

  To use a domain URL you purchased elsewhere on any wordpress.COM site you will need to upgrade first and then map to an existing domain. To map an existing domain see http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
  Alternatively, see http://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
