  I want to create a better website with WordPress. I already have a domain and active website, I don’t want to point my site until it is complete. Can I upgrade to a business plan with a dummy domain name then point the site to my old domain after?

  Sure thing! You’re welcome to create your new site with us before pointing the domain here. That way your current site can stay “live” until your new one is ready.

  I do recommend getting a plan earlier on if you’ll need it, since they have other features you might find useful, including direct support:

  Then just avoid using the domain options until you’re ready, and then you can map or transfer the domain.

  Let us know if you need more help!
