  Hi, I’m trying to transfer my old website to WordPress using the same domain, but I don’t want to put it online until the new website is finalised. Is there a way to create an offline WordPress site without having to transfer our domain across just yet?

  Hi there, you could create a site for free at https://wordpress.com/start at anytime and then set it to Private: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  You could then wait as long as you wish before considering transferring your domain to WordPress.com, though you’ll need a paid plan to do so. :)
