    It depends where it's hosted.

    If it's hosted at wordpress.com, then having your own domain-name redirected or mapped to it doesn't change any of the standard wordpress.com terms of service (no advertising, nothing commercial, etc.).

    I'm just clarifying this because I saw the other thread you started, asking about advertising on wordpress blogs - so I'm just bringing to your attention that self-hosted wordpress (with software from wordpress.org - which is still free) is completely different in this regard from using wordpress's own hosting at wordpress.com, which is for "hobby bloggers" only - nothing commercial or monetized is allowed there, with or without your own domain-name on the blog.

    If you have your own, self-hosted wordpress blog, you can put whatever you like on it, because you own the site: you're free from all the restrictions, that way. If you want to have anything commercial or monetized on your blog, you'll need to do it that way.

    What Alexa said ^^ and read the terms!

    In other words tha answer to your question "what happen when buy domain for free wordpress blog?" - is this: NOTHING GOOD happens, so don't do it!

    If you are going to buy domain from wordpress don't do it as I've heard they are not allowing to manage your nameservers. I also suggest you to go for a self hosted wordpress blog.
