  Hi there,
  I want to create a website through wordpress before I switch over the domain name from my current provider. Is that possible?

  Hi there,

  To clarify, you want to use a custom domain registered elsewhere on a site hosted on WordPress.com. That can be done via domain mapping.

  You can start building your site here on WordPress.com with a free plan, using the free example.wordpress.com domain name. Once it’s ready to be launched to the public, you can then purchase a plan to have the custom domain mapped to your site.

  Do let us know if you have further questions, we’ll be glad to help.
