  i already own a domain for a site that i built on Weebly. i’m going to build a new site on WordPress, and am trying to figure out the correct way to build the site, or stage it but not ready to repoint DNS. so it’s heard to figure out how to create the temp site. should i just use a http://www.blabla.wordpress.com address for now, and move it all once the site is complete and ready to go live?

  Site: https://mjblanchette.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  That’s correct – you can use a default temp domain (something.WordPress.com) while you build your site and then either map or transfer the domain when you’re ready.

  I hope this helps.
