Domain Question

    I currently have my domain set up using Wix. I would like to move to WordPress, but don’t want my Wix site to disappear if I switch domains, specifically because I know my WordPress site won’t be ready for at least a month. If I transfer domains now, will people who visit my Wix site not be able to log on?

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain to start with.

    All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com or .blog subdomain when the site is created, that functions just like any regular subdomain, and your site is fully online and accessible at that subdomain (provided you set it to public).

    So you can experiment and build your site at that free address, even upgrade the site while still using the free address, and only switch the domain over to us once you’re ready. That way people will still be able to access your Wix site while you work on the WordPress.com one.
