Hi there,
Yes, you can update or change your domain at any time. You can build your website on a free domain provided by WordPress.com only to add the domain after the site construction is built.

Hi there,
You can find instructions to change the free WordPress.com address we provide you here:

And you can find information on adding your own custom domain to your site (requires a paid plan) here:

Hi there,
you for the fast replies!
A further question. Am I able to create my wordpress content in a interims wordpress, when ready transfer content plus design to another wordpress installation? Is there a lets call it export function?best regards,

Hi Roland,
It is possible to export some content (pages, blog posts, uploaded images, blog comments, and some site-wide settings) but it’s important to point out your design, theme, and customization settings are NOT transferred via export.
https://wordpress.com/support/export/#what-an-xml-export-can-and-cannot-do
I see your current site URL is https://layer8526514976.wordpress.com/ yes? What I normally recommend is that you get all set up at that URL, so everything is ready to ‘launch’ to the public.
Once it is ready, instead of exporting/importing into another site it’s easier to change the address of this site to use a public URL instead. https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/
This would allow you to set up your site at one URL, but when you are ready you can show it to the public at a different URL instead. It accomplishes a similar goal, but on WordPress.com changing your site address is almost always easier and less work than moving contents between two different sites.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
