    I already have an existing website (non-wordpress site). I would like to create a new website using wordpress. But I do not want to transfer my existing domain over to my new wordpress site until its ready to launch. Can I build my wordpress site without the domain in place yet?

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain, yes.

    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.
