  Please explain your relationship with bluehost. I can build the site with WordPress, but have the domain hosted by bluehost, correct?

  Salishsailors.com doesn’t appear to have anything at all to do with BlueHost. The domain was purchased here at WordPress.com and the site is here too ready and waiting for you to add content.

  Hi bettinapnw,

  As @themagicrobot mentioned, salishsailors.com was registered through WordPress.com and is pointing to a site hosted here. There is confirmation of this on your Manage Purchases page:

  https://wordpress.com/me/purchases

  Please explain your relationship with bluehost.

  Bluehost are a separate company, so we don’t have any connection to them. Hosting from a third party (like Bluehost) would only be needed if you wanted to create a site with self hosted WordPress.org software:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I can build the site with WordPress, but have the domain hosted by bluehost

  When you say “build the site with WordPress”, do you mean you want to create and host it here on WordPress.com? Or would you prefer to create a site using WordPress.org software and host it on Bluehost?

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
