    You can easily setup and work on it locally.

    There are many tutorials on setting this up.

    you will need a domain name to purchase hosting.

    Then simply create a folder and set up wordpress in there.

    You can purchase a second domain name later and assign it to that folder.

    I would suggest build it first under your local server that is your computer.

    Yeah, you can set this up under a domain you currently own and host. Set it up as a subdomain on your existing domain. Your hosting company will likely have some tutorials to help you with this.

    Thats right. Download wordpress. Create all the pages that you want. When you are ready, get a domain, get a hosting and upload them.

    Have a domain name first before you purchase a hosting. If you haven't decided yet, Collect all the ideas and save it to your computer and when the time comes that you already have a domain name, that's the time for you to purchase a hosting.
