  Hi! I would like to create a website using wordpress for an existing domain (current website was built on squarespace). Can I use a temporary domain while building the site on wordpress so that the existing website stays current while I build?

  The site I need help with is fortllc.wordpress.com.

  You certainly can get your site set up here before switching your domain over!

  When you sign up for a new site, we give you a free subdomain (*.wordpress.com) that you can use to start building your new site.

  Here’s a guide that will help you migrate your site to WordPress.com:
  https://transferto.wordpress.com/

  Note that you will need a paid plan at the time you want to map or transfer your domain to the site. You can compare the different plan levels here:
