  Hi muffitscorner, you’ll just need to connect it to a hosted site. Do you want the name to replace https://muffitorg.wordpress.com/ or do you have another site in mind?

  Hi, thank you for getting back with me…the domain I bought through BlueHost from WordPress … is Muffit.org…and I want to use it through WordPress with blue host. I bought it to use with WordPress but never set up my site. So since I still own it and I’m now ready to finish setting up my WordPress site I’m now going to use the domain. Sorry I’m a bit wordy. But yes I want it to replace the Muffitorg Can you help me? Thank you

  Hi, just to check – you’re planning to host the site at Bluehost specifically?

  If so then Bluehost’s own customer service are best-placed to help you:
  https://www.bluehost.in/contact

  We here at WordPress.com provide similar services to Bluehost, but if you’re hosting the website with them, then you’ll be using the WordPress software which comes from WordPress.org instead.

  To clarify, there are two ways to use WordPress, you can either use the WordPress software downloaded from WordPress.org onto a web host like Bluehost (also known as self-hosted), or you may host your site with us here at WordPress.com. For reference, you can learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
