  Hello! I am considering WP to play around with building out some domains I already own. I wanted to experiment with WP before transferring anything or ‘re-pointing’ anything. Can I build a ‘dummy site’ to explore or do I have to use a real domain?

  Hi,

  You can create a free “dummy site” with a .wordpress.com subdomain using the link below.

  This is a guide that will help you learn how to use WordPress.

  Once you are ready you can either map or transfer your domains to WordPress.com

  Please read this article to learn the differences between mapping and transferring.

  Both mapping and transferring require a paid plan.
