When purchasing a domain only at WordPress.com/domains, you won't be able to create a site once in the WordPress.com dashboard. It was reported in 2109054-zen
The page to load and a site to be created and attached to the domain.
The final set up page gets stuck.
All.
Request for update on issue in 2109054-zen. Reported that provided workaround did not work for them.

Error is happening at the end of the site-selected
flow, in the plans-site-selected
step.
We don't offer domain mappings on free sites (at lease we don't creating _new_ mappings on free sites) which might be the root cause of the issue.
It would be nice to display something to explain the situation to the user and give them a way out of the flow without purchasing anything.
A quick fix might be to hide the option of creating a free site.
🙈 This was caused by #33763 ... I'm sorry!
Here's a fix that's ready for review #34087
@cecilearkay I've deployed a fix for this regression, the free plan should be hidden again for domain only sites. Let me know if you see any other problems related to this issue.
