If I have a free blog on WordPress (blogname.wordpress.com), can I upgrade the blog to a domain bought from WordPress? Can I buy multiple domains from WordPress and get URL redirection?

The alternative to the previous answer is to buy/register your domain names from a registrar – there are several and I tend to use Namecheap (see sources) as they invariably offer competitive pricing.
If you just want to use your own domain name but stay on WordPress.com see the Domain Mapping page at the official WordPress.com site here
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/
If you are intending to move your blogs from WordPress.com to your own hosted version on your domain, there is a good article over a Pro Blogger that I’ve also linked to in the sources below.
Hope this helps

Yes my friend, You can easily have a custom domain for your wordpress.com blog and you can even buy a domain from the wordpress.com itself.
After buying a domain from wordpress, they automatically move your blog over and redirect all your links and readers to the new domain.
How does this work? Well to get started go to Options > Domains. You can enter the domain you want in the box at the top.
Enter the domain you want.
If the domain isn’t registered, it will ask you for some information and then register it for you, and add domain mapping, for $15/yr.
If you already own a domain you registered somewhere else, you can map it for $10/yr. The next screen will tell you how to change the DNS nameservers on your domain to point to WordPress, and once you do that your domain should be live within a few hours.
That’s it!
Now for additional Domain, You need to buy a custom domain from outside the wordpress.
Go to the root of the secondary domain in host.
Create a file .htaccess
enter following code without the quotes.
”
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.:]+.)*secondarydomain.com.?(:[0-9]*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.primarydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
”
So what happens is that your primary domain is bought and works great at wordpress.com,
when an user goes to http://www.secondarydomain.com/2009/12/abc.html
he will be redirected to http://www.primarydomain.com/2009/12/abc.html.
But make sure google considers the secondary domains content as duplicate and spam as it is same as of primary so its my recommendation of forget the idea of additional secondary domain name.
If you have any questions at all don’t hesitate to contact me @ Yahoo.
