    Hi I already have a working website at my domain and do not want to disrupt it until I redesign it here on WordPress. Be creating (mapping) my website here will any aspect of the original site be disrupted?

    Hi there,

    Adding the mapping upgrade itself to your WordPress.com site won’t affect your current site, but pointing the name servers to us will. However, you can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring or mapping your domain right away.

    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 select that free address option when creating your WordPress.com site, and you can 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 to take your current site offline.
