  Hi! I just cancel my domain with Bluehost. It’s possible to use the same name with WordPress?
  Thanks

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  It’s possible, though sometimes registrars hold on to canceled domain names.

  What is the domain name?

  I’d ask Bluehost for help connecting the domain for now:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Then you can transfer it like so:
  https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  You will definitely need to have ownership of the domain, though, so if you actually cancelled the domain with Bluehost, please contact them right away about retrieving access.

  Once you’ve got that, update us here and we’ll help you get it connected properly!
