  Hi I have a wordpress.com account and a separate domain through bluehost. Is there any benefits to transfering my domain to wordpress? Is it better to manage my domain and website from WordPress.com or should I stick to using my domain?

  Hi –

  The benefit of transferring your domain is that all of your site-related items are in one space and managed from one account.

  Keep in mind that a domain transfer takes 5 days to complete. That timing is beyond our control. Here are the instructions:

  Our personal hosting plan will be needed to connect the domain. Details on https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Write back with more questions.
