  I am trying to move a site from Front Page to WordPress but do not want to transfer the domain name until I am finished. Should I build the site then transfer?

  Hi there,

  It’s perfectly fine to do it that way, 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).

  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.
