  I purchased a domain and I would like to start creating a website with it, but when I do, it says it’s already tied to my other website. How do I separate them?

  Hello,
  If your site is hosted with WordPress.com, you can create a new site, choose the free domain that comes with that site and then transfer the domain you already own to the new site.

  Depending on who you registered your domain with, these guides may be useful:

  If you’re registered with WordPress.com:
