  I purchased a domain and paid for a year up front for hosting from Bluehost. How do I connect the two?

  Hi @jegan7981,

  In the admin dashboard of your site, navigate to ‘Configure’ on the side tab by the left, you will find ‘Domains’ with an ‘Add’ button.
  Click on ‘Add’ and you’ll see the default WordPress.com domain name assigned to your site and right below it, you will see ‘Already own a domain?’. Click the link that says ‘Use a domain I own’ and you’ll be asked to either Transfer your domain to WordPress.com or Buy Domain Mapping.
  Click on Transfer to WordPress.com and you’ll be asked to type the URL of the domain you want to transfer and click on the Transfer button and you’re good to go.

  Cheers.
