    How can I play around with WordPress and see if it will work for our needs without moving our existing domain name? Do I just make something up – but I don’t want to pay for a new domain name.

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain. 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 to take the existing site offline. If you find you need to use paid features for the example site, we offer a 14-day refund on all our plans if purchased for a full year, or 7 days if purchased monthly.
