Bluehost Domain

I purchased a domain with BlueHost...I followed the instructions to point the domain to my site here on homestead but it's not working and its been days.

The first image below is BlueHost

This is Homestead where my website is being built. Any idea why it's not working?

To transfer a domain name to Homestead, you need to first unlock your domain at your current registrar, retrieve the authorization code (also called an EPP code), then initiate the transfer process on the Homestead website by providing the code and confirming the transfer; you may need to update your contact information and disable domain privacy on your current registrar as well.

TRANSFER DOMAIN:
If you contact your domain registrar, they should be able to get the domain ready for transfer and send you an authorization code. Then, you add the domain to your Homestead account under "Use a Domain I Already Own" in the Domains tab and input the Authorization Code. The process takes 5-7 days to complete.

Key steps:

Unlock your domain: Access your current domain registrar's control panel and ensure your domain is unlocked to allow transfer.
Get authorization code: Request the authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar; they will usually send it to your registered email address.
Access Homestead transfer page: Log in to your Homestead account and navigate to the domain transfer section.
Enter domain details: Provide the domain name you want to transfer and the authorization code.
Confirm transfer: Review the details and confirm the transfer process. Important points to remember:

Contact information update:

Make sure your contact information is accurate on both your current registrar and Homestead.
Domain privacy:

If you have domain privacy enabled, you might need to disable it before transferring.
Transfer fees:

Homestead may charge a small fee for domain transfers.
Verification process:

After initiating the transfer, you may need to verify ownership by clicking a link in an email from Homestead.

@faren4334 The point will complete in 1-3 business days depending on the speed of your domain provider.

Did You contact your domain provider as specified?

To point your domain using nameservers

Contact your current domain provider to add our Nameservers. Some providers allow you to do this online. If yours doesn't, you can call or email them to complete this step with our Nameservers.
