Hi there,
Yes, you can create servers without associating a domain name with them. You could use the server IP address to access them directly rather than using a specific domain name.
Then whenever you are ready you can change your DNS records to point to the server IP address at any time.
Here are a few useful articles:

Hope that this helps.
Best,
