Build wordpress site before Domain Mapping
-
Hello. We have an existing site that we want to replace with a new WordPress website, but would like to build it before doing the Domain Mapping to point to the new site.
Is this possible? -
Hi there,
You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring or mapping your domain, yes.
All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com or .blog subdomain when the site is created, that functions just like any regular subdomain, and your site is fully online and accessible at that subdomain (provided you set it to public).
So you can experiment and build your site at that free address, even upgrade the site while still using the free address, and only switch the domain over to us once you’re ready.

Thank you, and that’s great news!!
Does WordPress have a support contact. I’m still bumping into issues. -
On the free plan this forum is the support that’s available, and we’re happy to help you here with any questions you may have.
Once you upgrade to a paid plan you’ll have access to email and live chat support via the same contact form at https://wordpress.com/help/contact that you used to create this forum thread.
If you’re considering building a WordPress site using the open source version of the software at another hosting provider, then the best place to ask for advice is https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
