I want to build the website first before transferring the domain to you

    I have a domain that I own at Go Daddy. I want to try and build a simple website for my musical group with you, and I am willing to transfer the data main to you. However I want to first build the website and see how it turns out before I commit to transferring it to you. How do I do that?

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site here without transferring your domain yet.

    All sites on WordPress.com get a free .wordpress.com address when the site is created, and your site is fully online and accessible at that address (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 to take the existing site offline. If you find you need to use paid features for the example site, we offer a 14-day refund on all our plans if purchased for a full year, or 7 days if purchased monthly.
