    why do I have to map my domain before the new website exists?
    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    You don’t need to map your domain right away if you don’t want to.

    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 address instead of adding a custom domain when you first create your site. 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.
