  Hi there,

  A website cannot be accessed without an address, so unless your hosting provider has a staging domain you can move your site to, neither you nor anyone else will be able to access the site any more. And if you cancel your hosting account with your current provider your site will disappear completely.

  If you have any content on your existing site that you want to migrate to a new site on WordPress.com, that should be done before you move the domain to us.
