  Hi there,

  You can create a new WordPress.com site without buying a domain.

  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 add a domain later, or even not at all if you’re happy with the free address.
