  If you’re hosted on Bluehost, you’ll use the WordPress software from https://wordpress.org/ and they have some documentation for you at https://www.bluehost.com/help/article/install-wordpress

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  With that said, if you’d rather host your WordPress site with us and use the domain name you have through Bluehost, we have two options for you:

  Domain Connection allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow you to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/
