Temporary Domain
-
I currently have a site hosted by another provider. I would like to build a new site on WordPress but not transfer the domain name until the new site on WordPress is ready. Is it possible to do this without paying for another temporary domain name on WordPress?

Hi there,
That is not an issue – what you could do is create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a
.wordpress.comor a.home.blogsubdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and determine whether or not this is the platform you want to use. Once you are done developing the site, you can make the decision to transfer the domain over:https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
map and existing domain:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
Or even creating a new one:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/
Hope this helps,

Yup that totally helps! I didn’t realize all the features worked for a blog site, so I didn’t even try it. Thanks so much!
