Im thinking about buying my webhost at bluehost, Im buying VB license and installing the 3.8.6 version.

Is this all possible on the following webhost? If so, Im immediately going to purchase VB and set it up.

https://www.bluehost.com/cgi/info/hosting_features

That should be fine.

I got my domain at a different company though, Do I need to transfer it to bluehost?

Cause I think that's what they're trying to say right here:

I Have a Domain Name
I want to use an existing domain
Enter Domain Name:

(e.g. domainname.com)



Note: Bluehost will provide you the information you'll need for transferring your domain.

if where you have your domain now supports it you can give the system the DNS server of BlueHost that way the system knows where to find your domain the best part of this is when you leave BlueHost you only need to change DNS and you will run again after you put backups back.

It is generally a BAD idea to have your domain and your hosting done by the same company. If you ever have a dispute with them, then they can hold your website hostage indefinitely. By having your domain at a popular company like namecheap or godaddy, you can always "re-point" your website to another hosting company.

Cause I think that's what they're trying to say right here:

I Have a Domain Name
I want to use an existing domain
Enter Domain Name:

Choose existing.

Note: Bluehost will provide you the information you'll need for transferring your domain.

Of course they will.

ok should work

So I think that I need to point my domain on my current company where i put the domain, to bluehost orso?

Bluehost will give you the name of their nameservers. Like ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com.

You will need to login to the control panel for your domain name provider and enter those nameservers.
