  I already have a domain. Can I use WordPress just to create my site? Or do i have to move the site to WordPress first?

  Hi there,

  If you already own a domain and want to host at wordpress.com you can use domain mapping feature.
  kindly have a read at this link for detailed information on domain mapping.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  OR ELSE
  you can transfer the domain to wordpress.com

  Read the below link for more information on transfer

  Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
  Thanks!

  Thanks. Does it cost anything?
  And I have to change the existing domain DNS right?
  I want to create a site in the easiest way possible!

  Hi there,

  You need to pay 13$ per year for domain mapping.
  or else you can buy a personal plan & can use custom domains with paying domain mapping fees.

  Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
  Thanks!
