Add domain name later
-
Hello,
I want to redesign our website using WordPress.com while keeping the old one up on our old platform. I want to wait until I finish redesigning the website before I remap the domain to our current domain. How do I bypass the domain mapping stage of signing up?
Thanks,

Hi there,
That is not an issue – what you could do is create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a
.wordpress.comor a.home.blogsubdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and determine whether or not this is the platform you want to use.Are you able to see the skip purchase option?:
Once you are done developing the site, you can make the decision to transfer the domain over:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
map and existing domain:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
Or even creating a new one:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/
Hope this helps,
