You are stuck with two different companies - even if you transferred the domain name here (which you can't) - you would have two separate payments - (domain registration & domain mapping are different upgrades and are not combined into a single payment here)

I am aware that I can, through wordpress.com, map this domain to my blog for a fee. If I where to go ahead and do this would it mean that I would have to pay my existing domain registrar (gandi) to host the domain name and also pay wordpress.com the fee for the domain mapping? If so is there a way to have wordpress.com manage my domain name so that I am only paying one fee for the domain through wordpress.com?

Many Thanks!
