  Hi!
  I understand that you need to build a website on a custom domain.

  Please understand that WordPress.org and WordPress.com are two different products.

  If you want to build the website using WordPress.com, then you have to buy a premium plan and then map the domain. You cannot use a custom domain with the free plan.

  If you want to build the website using WordPress.org, then you have to buy a custom hosting, then install WordPress on that hosting and map your domain with your hosting provider.
