  Hi treasureddiamonds,

  There is a comprehensive guide to migrating a website from Squarespace to WordPress.com.

  To use your custom domain, you need to buy a paid plan. Please check the pricing.

  With an upgraded plan, you can either buy or map an existing domain.

  Thanks, I would like to be able to build the site first before redirecting my domain. I need to keep my site running with the least down time. What do you recommend. Thanks in advance.
