  Since i already have a domain name hosted with bluehost, am I required to move my domain name from bluehost to WP in order to create my web site?

  Hi gsmikle1927,

  I see you have already created a couple of WordPress.com sites. There are two options for using an existing domain on a site hosted with us:

  1. Domain mapping
  
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Mapping creates a connection between the domain and WordPress.com. The domain will remain registered with your current provider and renewed through them each year.

  2. Transfer the domain to WordPress.com
  
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Transferring means the domain and site can be managed and renewed from one account.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
