    Hello,

    I'm with bluehost for hosting but they don't do .ie domains. I've found the one I want on registration365. Does anyone know if it will be difficult to have my .ie domain show up on my bluehost account? I'm doing this all very low budget for a charity so just want a very simple 'Install Wordpress' job as it normally is with bluehost, but my other sites are .com so it's simpler.

    Thanks!

    No experience with bluehost, but any i've ever used you can sign up with an existing domain (your ie address). If already setup, look for 'domain'/'nameserver' settings.

    It's generally easy to have them from separate providers and in fact, I'd recommend you buy domain and hosting separately.

    It makes it much easier to avoid lock-in and move hosting, which is something most businesses want to do every few years.
