Can I launch a free .wordpress.com site?
-
I’ve created my site and I would like to launch it with the wordpress.com as my domain extension for free. Can I do that?

Hi there,
That is not an issue – what you could do is create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a
.wordpress.comor a.home.blogsubdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and determine whether or not this is the platform you want to use.For the
.wordpress.comextension, you will need choose the business option instead of blog option and then when you type in your site name preference, you should be able to skip purchase.Let me know if you have any questions or if you do not see that option.
Thanks!

I do not see that option. There is no “skip purchase” option when I attempt to launch my ‘free’ WordPress site.

I see that option if I click on Launch Site for your site, at https://wordpress.com/start/launch-site/domains-launch?siteSlug=leonclimate.travel.blog:

If you’re seeing something different, please take a screen shot and upload it to the media library at My Site ->Site ->Media, and we can take a look there.
