  Can I try out wordpress without actually transferring my domain? There doesn’t appear to be a staging area.

  Hi there,

  Yes! You can always create a free WordPress.com website.

  Hi,

  Adding a few more details

  You can build your new site here and then wait to connect the domain until everything is ready to go.

  You can get a free site and the free features with a
  .wordpress.com subdomain. Use a temporary name for your site as an example: sitename.wordpress.com

  https://wordpress.com/free/

  Keep the new site private as to not affect any SEO.

  Once you are ready you can choose to transfer or map your domain to WordPress.com
