  Hi thewildshepherdapp,

  I just purchased a year of hosting with you guys through bluehost.

  Hosting with Bluehost means you using WordPress.org software (which is a separate entity from WordPress.com):

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  The site you have created there doesn’t have any connection to WordPress.com, which is why you are unable to manage it through the account you are contacting us from.

  You will need to login by adding /wp-admin/ to the end your site URL. You will need to login using the details you were sent when the account was created — not those for your account on WordPress.com.

  If you need any further help with the site hosted by Bluehost, the WordPress.org support forums will be the best place to ask for advice:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums

  Come back to me if anything is unclear.
