How to build a site on a new purchased domain?

    I have just purchased a new domain name and want to build a completely different site that is not connected with my previously purchased domain and built site. I don’t see the new domain in “my sites” and when i try to “add a site”, on the second step I put my new purchased domain , then “use a domain I own” , put my new domain and the system says – “is already connected to a WordPress.com site.”
    When i go to “domains”- I only see that it offers me to choose only one domain is a primary site address. However, I want a different site with my new domain that is not connected with my previous domain.
    Can I manage 2 sites from my account dashboard? Or should I cancel my purchase?
    Thank you,
    Irina

    Hi,

    When you enter the new domain into a browser, where do you end up going? Does it take you to your existing website? Or to a new, blank, website?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. For some reason I end up going to my another previously purchased domain, kind of forwarding directly there.

    Got it, I just see the one site on this account, and the new domain connected to it.

    Does the new site exist yet with a temp address? Can you send a link if it does?

    If it does not exist yet, please start creating it here:
    https://wordpress.com/start/

    Select “Choose my domain later” but please do choose whichever paid plan will suit the site best. You’ll need a paid hosting plan for the domain to work properly.

    Once you have that, reply here, or reach out again at https://wordpress.com/help/contact so we can move the domain to the new site and apply the credit as needed. Talk to you soon!

    No, the new site doesn’t exist.
    Thank you for showing me a way how to create a new one with a new domain.
    Once I’ll do it, I’ll get back to you.
