  Hi –

  Yes :) This is a very common question. Go ahead and build your new site on WordPress.com. Import your content, customize the theme, get it all ready to launch.

  Keeping the new site private will help prevent any SEO confusion since you’re going to have the same content on two different addresses.

  Once ready, the domain can get connected with one of our plans. https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  There’s 2 ways to connect the domain. Either will work fine.

  1. Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  2. Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Write back with more questions :)
