  I have a domain name already but don’t want to pay yet and don’t want to move it here until my new website is complete.

  Hi there, no problem. You’re welcome to create your new site with us before pointing the domain here. That way your current site can stay “live” until your new one is ready.

  I do recommend getting a plan earlier on if you’ll need it, since they have other features you might find useful, including direct support:

  Then just avoid using the domain options until you’re ready, and then you can map or transfer the domain.

  Let us know if you need more help!

  how do I skip the domain part, because it won’t let me continue to the builder with choosing a domain option.

  I am using the free plan and I am NOT going to upgrade any time soon. Is it possible to just map a subdomain without having to pay?

  You won’t be able to map a custom domain on a free plan. If you do not wish to purchase any upgrade, you’ll want to choose a free subdomain from the list and skip the purchase.
