  Hi there. You have a free WordPress.com domain called http://classictreeguysdotcom.wordpress.com/ . It says “dotcom” because you typed “classictreeguys.com” when registering the free blog instead of typing only “classictreeguys”

  To use your bluehost domain, classictreeguys.com, with your free WordPress.com site at classictreeguysdotcom.wordpress.com, you need to go to the latter’s dashboard and buy the domain mapping upgrade. Then visitors will see your custom address rather than the free one. https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
