  Is it possible to create a website before creating a domain or moving a domain over? I’ve never used wordpress before and want to make sure it’s a good fit before committing to moving my domain over from godaddy.

  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:

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