Can I use my own domain using wordpress?

    Hello,

    I have a website built and registered on a different hosting server.

    I also have a domain name purchased.

    My question is: Can I build a website in wordpress and use my domain name without any additions: wordpress etc?

    If so, is it possible to write a page in text editor and import it to wordpress, or do you I have to work completely on shared templates?

    I’m asking theese questions because my client cares about CMS, he already has a CMS website, but cannot access it and is very outdated. All that’s left for me to do is move the domain elsewhere and build the website from scratch. I have no experience working with CMS

    Yes, and we have two options for using a domain you already own with a site hosted here:

    Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

    A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

    is it possible to write a page in text editor and import it to wordpress, or do you I have to work completely on shared templates?

    It may work, but we can’t make any promises. In general, we recommend sticking to our editor, and we have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/
