  Hi there!

  I’m not sure I understand the issue here clearly. If you created a blog with Bluehost, you won’t need to create the same blog on WordPress.com. You’d need only one hosting service provider. Did you mean you registered your domain through Bluehost that you want to use it with your WordPress.com site?

  If that is the case, here’s how you can use a domain you already own through another provider:

  * If you want to create a new site, go to https://wordpress.com/start
  * When it asks for the domain, enter the desired domain that you already own.
  * You’ll see the option to choose that you already own this domain. Choose that.
  * Proceed through the rest of the site creation/purchase steps and complete the payment for upgrading to a paid plan.

  After your site is created with a paid plan, you can follow the instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  If you need help with that, please let us know and we can help you with that further.

  Regards
