  I want to set up a new website using the SNAPS WP theme and have word press host this site for me too? I’m not ready to shut down the old website until the new one is created? How should I go about registering with WP.com please.

  Hi @printseen, you’re welcome to stage your new site with us before pointing the domain here. That way your current site can stay “live” until your new one is ready.

  You would start by creating your site with the plan of your choice:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  And then just avoid using the domain options until you’re ready to go live.

  Also, is your current site using a self-hosted copy of WordPress? Or are you using another system? Let us know; we’ve got some tips on importing content here: https://transferto.wordpress.com/ .
