  Today I purchased a Domain through Bluehost. When I try to log in to WordPress through Bluehost, I get a 404 notification. How can I resolve this, so that I may proceed and build my website. This is what the error looks like: https://gyazo.com/b121e250676f34ff8b2ff7935561f42c

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, these forums are for those hosted here at WordPress.com and your site is self-hosted at Bluehost.

  I can see your site just fine right now. When you purchase a domain name, that information has to propagate to all the nameservers around the planet, and that can take 24-72 hours although it is typically around 24, so just be patient. You may experience some intermittent connectivity on your site until that propagation is complete.

  It looks like all is good though: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/gyazo.com

  For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking for help in the volunteer-based WordPress.org forums.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate, so if you do not already have an account at WordPress.org, you will need to register.
