  Hi! I just started this blog today, but I’ve realized I want to go the self-hosted route instead. I haven’t posted any content yet. If I delete the blog, will I be able to use my domain name through bluehost?

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

  Hello,

  Congratulations on starting a new blog cheers to the new beginning…

  If you haven’t already seen this I would insist you take a look at this page so you get a better idea of the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org(self-hosted WordPress).
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  For deleting the site you can refer to this
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  And yes if you have purchased the domain already, you can use it with self-hosted WordPress via any hosting provider that works for WordPress (most of them do). If you need to know what is required to run WordPress on your hosting please refer this,
  https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ and this https://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress

  I hope this helps, in-case you need any further assistance, feel free to reply here.

  Regards,
