  Hello I signed up and paid to get my domain name with Bluehost, I cannot see how to switch everything over to WordPress.com?

  Hi there,

  Do you want to use the domain with us on WordPress.com? Or do you want to use WordPress on Bluehost’s hosting?

  If you want to use the domain with us, first create a new site at https://wordpress.com/start/site/ and upgrade it to one of our paid plans. Then you’ll be able to either map or transfer the domain to us – if you registered your domain less than 60 days ago you won’t be able to transfer it yet, so just map it in that case:

  If you want to set up a WordPress site on Bluehost’s hosting, please contact their support directly for help. In that case you’ll be using the open source version of WordPress made and supported on WordPress.org

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
