  Hello,
  I would like to start creating a website for my business however I would like for it to be offline or just not visible to anyone. Is this possible? I am worried that if I get a domain name and host the website will be visible right away.

  Hi there!

  On WordPress.com, you can set your site as private – this means only you or invited users will be able to see it. If you decide to purchase plan Business, you’ll also be able to install a maintenance plugin that can display a “coming soon” page while you’re working on your site.

  Here’s some more information about privacy settings:
