 * Hi, About migration … I have a quick question … Is it possible to build a WordPress
   site with a host without assigning it a final domain name then, when everything
   is ready, transfer the existing domain name to new site built?
 * Thanks for your help !😉

 * Sure.
    Build your site on your local computer, or in a staging area on your shared
   hosting server. When you’re ready, create your “real” domain name, and migrated
   the site. There are many methods, I prefer this one : [https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/)

 * Thanks for your answer but I wish I could have just to change the domain name,
   is it possible without affecting the inside of the new website on the new web
   hosting ? Sorry if my question seems to be naive, but I really want to be sure
   before to start building the new website version on the new web hosting.
    Clearly,
   I want to rebuilt my new website version on a new web hosting and at the end 
   once it’s done, only migrate the domain name to the new version of my site.

    Yes. Use a migration tool like the link posted in earlier reply. Here’s
   how it works : [https://help.servmask.com/knowledgebase/all-in-one-wp-migration-user-guide/](https://help.servmask.com/knowledgebase/all-in-one-wp-migration-user-guide/)
