  Hi yourworldsnotover,

  There are two types of WordPress:

  • WordPress.com: where the site is created and hosted here on WordPress.com.
  • WordPress.org: where WordPress.org software is installed on a third party host (like Bluehost).

  There is more information about the differences between the two here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  With that in mind, do you want to create a site here on WordPress.com and use the custom domain you have already purchased?

  Just let me know and we can go from there.
