  I have a website on Squarespace and I would like to build a new website on Squarespace. The new website will use the same URL.

  Do I have to buy a new domain to build the new WordPress site so I can keep my current website up and running?

  I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

  Hi there,

  What I would suggest is to create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a .wordpress.com subdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and use that as a placeholder until you’re ready to move your domain from Squarespace over to the new site. The site starts off private until you are ready to launch it.

  Once you are done developing the site, you can make the decision to transfer the domain, connect the domain currently hosted with Squarespace, or register a new one:

  Hope this helps.
