Not ready to transfer domain yet

    I want to work on the new web site without a defined domain name because we are not ready to transfer our existing domain from GoDaddy yet. How can I create a temporary domain while my new web site is under development.

    Hi there,

    You don’t have to transfer your domain right away.

    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 just skip the domain step during signup and pick the free address we provide instead.

    Then 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.
