    If I get rid of my domain through WordPress, how long does it take until WP releases the domain so I can buy it through BlueHost?

    That’s not how it works. When you delete your domain over here, you loose all control and chances are high you loose it forever. Due to ICANN regulations your domain stays locked and it’s hard to predict when it will be released.
