  Hello,
  I would like to register custom domain through WordPress without starting the new blog. I mean I just want to reserve its name for some time. Is it possible?

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

  The easiest way to do that would be to create a new WordPress.com blog, register the domain, and then set that blog to be private.

  Does that make sense?

  Yeah! This was my first guess but then one have to pay not only for registration but also for mapping. Besides, the domain name remains visible and people can suspect that something is going on, just it is hidden. Probably the smartest way is to register the domain somewhere else and move it to WordPress when needed.
  Anyhow, thanks for your hint.
  Best regards,
  Wojciech

  That may be the best solution. WordPress.com isn’t really set up for parking.
