Hi. I need a wordpress site. I currently have a basic site via godaddy. Can I create a new wordpress site before I transfer my domain to bluehost? How do I start creating a new wordpress site?

Hi –
I’m happy to help. So, the first things, is deciding if you want to use us at WordPress.com. We’re a managed environment, with dedicated support team. That’s quite a bit different from running your own WordPress installation, known as WordPress.org.

Choosing the right version of WordPress from the start is going to save you some time, work, and headaches. This is the basic “getting started” materials for both.
– WordPress.com: https://learn.wordpress.com/
– WordPress.org: https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPressI’d read through both of those to see which is the right fit for your project and experience level.
To answer the question, yes, you can build a free site on WordPress.com and then connect your domain to it once it’s all ready to go. There are 2 ways to connect your domain to WordPress.com.
1. Map it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
2. Transfer it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
