  Hi, is it possible to build a new WordPress site first, then switch an existing site to it? I’d want to make sure everything looks OK before cutover, thanks.

  Hi,

  You can create a free site with a .wordpress.comsubdomain using the link below.

  The link below is a guide that will help you learn how to use WordPress.

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

  Please read this article to learn the differences between mapping and transferring.

  Both mapping and transferring require a paid plan.
