  I am very new to WordPress.com. I am using Bluehost to host my site, I do not want to host it myself. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to incorporate the two services in any way. I have a Bluehost account and a WordPress account. My main goal is to create a database in WordPress and be able to add and update that information. Please help, I am desperate! Thanks!

  Hi –

  If you are self hosting your site, then you would need to use WordPress.org. There are many, many, many differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com. Read more on the differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you want to start a site on WordPress.com, but you already own the domain that you wish to use, follow the instructions on mapping your domain. https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  After you read this information let me know how I can further help you.
