 * Hi,
 * sorry for the amateur question, but I’m not sure if I can change my website address
   once it’s registered with Bluehost. Probably can, but need to pay for and register
   another one? So, for example, from dumbquestions.com to amateurquestions.com
 * Cheers.

 * You have to buy a domain.
    Setup DNS. Update dns record of hosting. When u update
   the dns, u can no longer access your site. Login to phpmyadmin>click on your 
   site’s database>click on wp_option table>Edit `siteurl` and `home`.
