For your blog here to appear under your registered domain name, you will have to have the domain mapping upgrade.

One other thing, wordpress.COM does not include www in domain names here, either the standard subdomains or with domains mapped to blogs here, so your URL once your domain is mapped to your blog will be http://rhrevolver.com . Anyone who puts the www URL in will be automatically redirected to the non-www domain name and to your blog here.

You are currently still located at the wordpress.com url. I don't know why, if you are domain mapped properly -- perhaps someone else does?

If you have a redirect service purchased, you can have visitors who put in your wordpress url and end up at your own domain.

My tech support team wanted me to ask is your Domain Mapping the same as URL masking?

Again, I have the domain registered already through another company and do not want to change this. Whenever somebody types in http://www.rhrevolver.com, I want them only to see in the search bar "www.rhrevolver.com" and not "rhrevolver.wordpress.com".

Thank you in advance.
