    Hey @matthewgoh0225, to be able to do that, first you need to remove the domain from your current blog and then connect it with the blog you want. Is your domain from wordpress.com or other 3rd party registrars.

    You can find additional details at https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

    and https://wordpress.com/support/domains/

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain right away.

    All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com 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).

    So 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 to take the current site offline.
