Upgrading existing website
-
I have have a Joomla website already. I wish to build a new one with WordPress that I have complete control of. I need to keep the old one running until I’m happy with with the new site. At which time I will need to transfer my domain to the new site. Does this make sense and is this possible. Thank you in advance
I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

Hi,
You can build your new site here and then wait to connect the domain until everything is ready to go.
You can get a free site and the free features with a
.wordpress.com subdomain. Use a temporary name for your site as an example: sitename.wordpress.comKeep the new site private as to not affect any SEO.

Once you are ready you can choose to transfer or map your domain to WordPress.com

This guide will help you learn how to use WordPress.com
Webinars are a great tool for getting started. Check those out at https://wordpress.com/webinars/
If you would like to buy a plan and decide not to use it here is the WordPress.com refund policy.

You do need a paid plan to be able to use your current domain on WordPress.com
