Build Website
-
I want to be able to build my website first before transferring the domain.

Absolutely! This is a common question. Leave your current site alone so your web presence does not take a hit. Go ahead and get started on a new site with one of our free site addresses.
Click on My Sites – Tools – Domains – Add
Take a look at the theme options from https://wordpress.com/themes/ and let us know if there’s a particular function you need to implement on the new site. We can help you find a good fit.
Once you’re ready to connect the domain you’ll do it with either mapping or a transfer. We offer both of those at WordPress.com and they’re included with your plan purchase. The plan also includes your hosting and support access. The details for those are at https://wordpress.com/plans/
When the plan is added to the account you’ll connect the domain.
1. Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
2. Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/There’s also some getting started help on these pages. They’re super, in my opinion!
