Merging my wordpress and bluehost accounts

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,
    I started a blog on wordpress.com but then noticed I had a bluehost account and I logged into there and had the same blog name but they aren’t merging. My blog on wordpress is almost done and then when I go to bluehost there is nothing there. My blog name is Styled Mama Life. I registered the domain on bluehost as styledmamalife.com . I noticed on wordpress it says styledmamalife.wordpress.com. How can I get these to merge together?
    Thank you

  • Hi there!

    To clear up any further confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

    We, WordPress.com are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites whereas WordPress.org is a stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting. The Bluehost site you mentioned is a self-hosted WordPress.org site and it’s independent of your WordPress.com blog.

    You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    To use the custom domain you purchased, you’ll want to map it as explained here:
