I was just trying out WordPress.com's personal plan, it was only 36$ a year for hosting and pointing my domain (which is I registered on Namecheap).

  Does it come with SSL?

    Yup builtin in SSL. BTW I cancelled the plan because they didn't let me customize permalinks. I was moving an existing blog to WordPress.com, so it was important to preserve links structure.

      Why not just 301?

        There is no way to upload your own .htaccess file on WordPress.com. I didn't really look deep enough into it. The most of info about setting up redirects were for self-hosted WordPress. But I gave up quickly because self-hosted blogs are working fine. (And there really isn't that much extra work in keeping those blogs secure and up to date.)

          oh duh, I didn't consider that. I've had similar problems on squarespace with no way to edit the robots.txt file.
