  I want to get a brand new web site set up @ WordPress.com before cancelling my old one and activating this one. How do I make that happen?

  When you start a site here, we’ll give you a free subdomain to build it under. You won’t need to move your custom domain until you’re ready to.

  When it’s time, we have two options for using a domain you already own on a WordPress.com site:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/
