  Is it a good time to build up my new website by wordpress now? My shopline website will expire end of April 2022.

  Hi,

  Any time is a good time to build a WordPress website!

  Joking aside, it’s always a good idea to start building a new website well before you need it.

  Hi there!

  You certainly can get your site set up here before switching your domain over!

  When you sign up for a new site, we give you a free subdomain (*.wordpress.com) that you can use to start building your new site.

  Here’s a guide that will help you migrate your site to WordPress.com:

  https://transferto.wordpress.com/

  Note that you will need a paid plan at the time you want to map your domain to the site. You can compare the different plan levels here:

  I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions.
