Transfer Domain?

    I currently have a domain with an active website and I’d like to eventually transfer the domain. Ideally, I’d like to build my website before transferring my domain; is there a way to skip this step while building my new site and transfer later?

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain, yes.

    All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com or .blog subdomain when the site is created, that functions just like any regular subdomain, and your site is fully online and accessible at that subdomain (provided you set it to public). You should see a free address suggested on the domains step, so just select that instead of searching for your domain there.

    You can experiment and build your site at that free address, even upgrade the site while still using the free address, and only switch the domain over to us once you’re ready.
