Domain registration

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, I would like to open a WordPress account so someone can rebuild my website, which is currently on GoDaddy, to WordPress. I do not want the GoDaddy site disturbed until the WordPress site is complete and approved. How do I deal with the domain transfer given these conditions?

  • Hi there, 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.

    We have some import tips here, too:

    Lastly, wherever possible, I’d recommend giving pages the same names as you have on your old site. That can help with maintaining links and what not.

    Let us know if you need more help getting started!
