  Hello, I have a website on Wix right now and I want to keep this up while I build a new site here on wordpress. I don’t know how to move forward without doing a domain transfer, it keeps asking me to link it now and I don’t want to do this until the site is complete. Kindly advise.

  Hi mrschipschocolatechipcookies,

  That’s no problem — you can start by creating a free site on WordPress.com with an address containing “.wordpress.com”, choosing a theme, adding content etc.

  The existing domain can be mapped or transferred whenever you are ready to make the switch to the new site with us.

  If you want to upgrade plans in order to use upgraded features like additional storage space, the domain credit can be left unused until a later date.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
