  Hi. I signed up with bluehost and was given my website address. WordPress is asking if I want to stay with bluehost or move to WordPress. I don’t understand. I thought they were the same thing. I have paid a lot of money upfront and cannot progress on WordPress.
  What do I need to do?

  If you have a domain and hosting at Bluehost then you need to reach out to them for advice on how to install the wordpress software over there. You don’t need to be here at WordPress.com at all.

  @a23xfeehank5e950f9ae6,

  To clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and they are two different entities.

  We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

  You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on the page linked by @themagicrobot.

  I hope that helps :)
