Migrating from another web builder
-
I’m currently using another web builder and would like to migrate to WordPress. I don’t want to redirect my site until I have the WordPress site built.
Upon registration, WordPress is asking me to transfer or redirect my site. Again, I don’t want to complete this until I have the site built. How can build my WP site without redirecting or transferring until I’m ready?
Thanks in advance for any help! -
Hi there,
That is not an issue – what you could do is create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a
.wordpress.comor a.home.blogsubdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and determine whether or not this is the platform you want to use.Once you are done developing the site, you can make the decision to transfer the domain over:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
map an existing domain:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
Or even creating a new one:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/
Hope this helps,

On the second page, you should be able to type in the name of the domain and a free subdomain option should appear:
