  Hello, I have a live domain/website on a different platform and am wondering if I can build a replacement site on WordPress and transfer it across to my domain only once I am done building it so there is no down time from the existing site to the new one? Thanks

  Hi there,

  Yes, you can first create your site at WordPress.com using the WordPress.com free site domain and transfer or map your custom domain when your site is ready.

  You can check out the steps to transfer your custom domain to WordPress.com here: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  For domain mapping, please refer this link: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Hope this helps.

  Cheers!
