If you just want to point your new domain which is registered at Go Daddy (GD) to a new WP installation on Bluehost (BH) then:
At GD:
- log into your GD account and launch the Domain Manager
- click on the domain name in question
- click the Set nameservers link (lower left)
- make sure that the ' I have specific nameservers for my domains.' is selected
- enter ns1.bluehost.com for Nameserver 1: and ns2.bluehost.com for Nameserver 2: ... 3 and 4 stay empty
- click OK, and OK and that's it at GD :)
At BH:
- log in to your cPanel
- if you already have the new WP site in a sub folder, then go to step 2.
1. - Files > File Manager > New Folder > enter a name (lower case, no spaces or special characters) > Create New Folder
2. - Domains > Addon Domains >
-- New Domain Name: the new one from GD, without the http://
-- Subdomain/FTP Username: I generally use the one that is self-generated when you fill out the New Domain Name
-- Document Root: this will self-populate with public_html/domain name
-- delete just the domain name and enter the folder name from step 1. or your existing sub folder, so it looks like public_html/foldername
- enter and confirm a very strong password
- click Add Domain
- wait :) ... can take up to "36 hours" according to the docs, but generally it is available in about 1 to 2 hours ... or sooner ... keep trying
That's it for the domain part for an additional, separate WP site on a BH account. If this is for a WP Multisite, then the GD part is the same, but I am not familiar with WPMS.
Cheers!
