  I have a WIX website and want to switch to WordPress without changing my domain name. Can I start building my WordPress website while keeping my Wix website active until the WordPress website is ready?

  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, import your existing content from Wix, and even upgrade the site while still using the free address, and only switch the domain over to us once you’re ready.

  You can find instructions on our Wix importer here:
