  I have a domain already, but am not sure if adding it to word press right now is what’s best considering I am just wanting to see if I could navigate and build the website on my own before purchasing the service.

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hi there,

  When you create a new site at https://wordpress.com/start/site/ we will automatically provide you with a free example.wordpress.com address that’s yours to use for as long as the site exists.

  So you can experiment and build your site at that free address, even upgrade the site while still using the free address, and only switch the domain over to us once you’re ready.

  Let me know if you have any other questions. If you can tell me a bit about your goals for the site, or the features you think you’ll need, I can also help you figure out which of our plans would be best for you.

  Meanwhile, to help you get started you can look at our Getting Started guide at https://wordpress.com/support/getting-started-with-wordpress-com/, and we have a more detailed tutorial site at https://wordpress.com/learn/

  We also host weekly webinars and offer some free and paid courses on using WordPress.com:
