  I bought a URL with google domains, but would like to use WordPress to build my website. After the 60 days wait, can I just transfer my URL to the WordPress website I create?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Clarification: In the meantime, I would like to go ahead and create my website using a free throwaway URL, and then after the 60 days can I just transfer my URL to the already created WordPress website.

  Hi there!

  Yes, you can use your own domain with your WordPress.com site. In fact, you don’t have to wait 60 days. You can connect your domain to WordPress.com without transferring it to us right away. Here are the instructions for it: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  After connecting the domain, you can make your domain primary so that the domain loads your WordPress.com site. Here’s how to do that: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#set-a-primary-address

  Please note your site needs to have a paid plan before you can connect your domain and make it primary. You can compare our plans and upgrade at this link: https://wordpress.com/plans

  Let us know if you have more questions.
