If you want to create a new domain name, enter it in the new domain box. With Bluehost, you can have one domain name for free.

If you already have domain name registered somewhere else, enter it in the "I have domain name" box". In that case, you will need to copy name servers that will be given to you by Bluehost after the registration and paste them into your domain name servers fields in your domain regisrar site.
