Upgrading from free personal to paid personal

    I currently have a free plan alexshalandbooks.wordpress.com. At one point, I will want to upgrade it to a plan that will give me the domain: alexshalandbooks.com.

    1. Do I need to upgrade before I publish the free website, or I can do it after publishing?

    2. When I upgrade to a paid plan, does my free website switches to the new URL, or I would need to build it up from scratch?

    Please reply ASAP
    Thanks, Alex

    Hi Alex,

    You can launch your site with the free plan and upgrade whenever you’re ready. When you register a custom domain, the old address will redirect to that new domain but the site will remain the same so you won’t need to start from scratch :)

    Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
