  I don’t want to move the domain OR have the website half ready. I need to design a new own and do a switch.

  Hi –

  No worries, this is a common question. You can go ahead and build your site on the free site address that we provide, and then, once everything is ready, connect the domain to it.

  This guide will help you become more familiarized with WordPress.com:

  There are 2 options for connection your domain.
  1. Map it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  2. Transfer it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Both of those options are included with your paid plan: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
