  I recently set up a Bluehost domain name and supposedly should be able to see it with WordPress but when I try it access my site through WordPress it gives me a different username and doesn’t update any changes I have made to the site. Is there a way to merge these so I can access them together?

  Hi there!

  First, to clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and they are two different entities.

  We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

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

  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  If you’re hosting your site with Bluehost, that means it is using the open-source software from WordPress.org. To connect it to your WordPress.com account, you’d need to install Jetpack:

  I hope that helps :)
