  Hi,

  You can build your new site here and then wait to connect the domain until everything is ready to go.

  You can get a free site with a .wordpress.com subdomain.

  Keep the new site private as to not affect any SEO.

  Once you are ready you can choose to transfer or map your domain to WordPress.com

  This guide will help you learn how to use WordPress.com
