admin Hello,
I registered a domain name under godaddy, but just got it hosted under bluehost. I know I have the option to transfer the registrar of the domain name from godaddy to bluehost, but is that necessary? What is the difference of who the name is registered under?
Thank you!

If you transfer your name to bluehost, they will take it to their registrar and maintain the nameservers for you. If you already know the nameservers for your bluehost account, then there is no point switching unless you really feel like skimping on 10 bucks a year.
I recently switched all my domains out of my hosts and onto godaddy, so I could manage them from there and be able to switch hosts if I need to anytime without having to deal with significant (and ugly) downtimes.
Other than the nameserver thing, there’s no difference with where you host your domain name. Remember, if you decide to move out of bluehost, they *will* (as with all hosts) give you hell moving your name out too.
