  Sure thing. You’re welcome to create your new site with us before pointing the domain here. That way your current site can stay “live” until your new one is ready.

  I do recommend getting a plan earlier on if you’ll need it, since they have other features you might find useful, including direct support:

  Then just avoid using the domain options until you’re ready, and then you can map or transfer the domain.

  Let us know if you need more help!
