    Hi @stewartfamily9,
    If you are looking to change the name of your free WordPress.com site you can do so by following the steps below:

    1. Click on MySites on the top left corner.
    2. Scroll down in the left navigation pane.
    3. Click on Domains.
    4. Then you will see your current domain loveenduresall.wordpress.com listed there.
    5. Now click on this domain.
    6. Under your domain, you will see the options Change Site Address.
    7. Click on this and edit your site address to enduresall.wordpress.com

    If you are building your site with BlueHost, you are probably installing a self-managed open-source copy of WordPress.org software on hosting space rented by BlueHost, so you will definitely also buy a new domain name to point to your site.

    WordPress comes in two flavours:

    • Self Hosted Open Source WordPress.org
    • Managed WordPress.com

    If you are unsure about the difference between self-hosted open-source WordPress.org and managed WordPress.com, go through the following:

    You also have another option of keeping your site hosted with WordPress.com and upgrade to one of our plans where you will get hosting as well as the free domain of your choosing.

    You can take a look at plans offered by WordPress.com at link below:

    Best :)
