  Hi!

  You can definitely use your domain on your Bluehost hosting account. The easiest way to do that is through changing the name servers as described here:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  Can you give that a try?

  Additional instructions on moving your site to a self-hosted server can be found here:

  Let me know if you run into any trouble!
