  Howdy –

  is it possible to build a new website and then transfer the domain after wards?

  Absolutely! This is a very common question. Yes, you can build your free site on WordPress.com and then connect the domain once everything is ready to go live.

  Consider keeping your new site under wraps until the time comes. https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  There’s 2 ways to connect the domain. Read over both options and let me know if you have any questions about them.

  1. Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  2. Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
