Map or transfer doman

I purchased my domain through bluehost, but I had issues logging into WordPress. I came directly to the site to set up an account. What should I do next?

Hello @yroquemore,
Firstly, I would like to bring to your notice that there are two types of WordPress-WordPress.com and WordPress.org. Learn more about the difference between the two through the link below:
And now, if you choose to bring your site to life on WordPress.com. Read on.
With mapping, the domain will remain registered with Bluehost. This process creates a connection between the domain and WordPress.com — the domain will still need to be renewed through Bluehost each year, in addition to renewing the plan you purchased through WordPress.com.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/Transferring the domain from Bluehost to WordPress.com means it will be registered and renewed through WordPress.com each year. This option would be better if you want to manage the site and domain through one account.

Once you understand the difference between the two and decide on the option to pursue, you might have more questions. In such a case please feel free to write back in a reply to this same thread and one of us will be happy to help you.
On the other hand, if you manage to go about it all by yourself, Welcome to WordPress.com and all the best with your site.
Hope this was of help.
