Domain Transfer or Mapping
-
I am building a website for my church. If I do a domain transfer will the current website be taken down or will it remain until a publish the new site.
Thanks

Hi there,
You do not need to move over your domain from your current site until you are done building your WordPress.com site. What you could do is create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a
.wordpress.comor a.home.blogsubdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and determine whether or not this is the platform you want to use. The site starts off private until you are ready to launch it.Once you are done developing the site, you can make the decision to transfer the domain over:

map an existing domain:

Or even creating a new one:

Hope this helps,
