Whether to Transfer or Map Web Address Yet

    Hi! I’m trying to figure out if WordPress is the right place for me to create the website for Cafe Cosmos. Therefore, I don’t feel ready to transfer or map the existing domain name that I purchased at GoDaddy. Is that a problem? Can I explore and then commit?
    The key points I’m looking for are ease in creation, adaptability to a new & small cafe/tavern, and ability to update as needed.

    Hi there,

    You can create a new WordPress.com site without transferring your domain, yes.

    All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com or .blog subdomain when the site is created, that functions just like any regular subdomain, and your site is fully online and accessible at that subdomain (provided you set it to public).

    So you can experiment and build your site at that free address, even upgrade the site while still using the free address, and only switch the domain over to us once you’re ready.

    If you want to try out the features in any paid plan, we offer a full refund for 30 days on all of our plans, provided you don’t use the free domain credit to register a new domain with us – domains are only refundable for 96 hours.
