  Hi: I am interested in building a new site, but I would like to build it before I transfer my domain. Can I do that?

  Hi there,

  You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain, yes.

  All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com or .blog subdomain when the site is created, that functions just like any regular subdomain, and your site is fully online and accessible at that subdomain (provided you set it to public).

  So select that free address option when creating your site, and 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.
