I own a website which is hosted by BigRock. I also bought the domain from them. Now, I want to upgrade to a VPS hosting plan and I prefer Bluehost due to their cheap prices. Will it be possible to use the BigRock domain with the Bluehost hosting? The website runs on WordPress. Thanks in advance. :)

Yes you can, it is quite a common practice.

You will either need to change the nameservers if you want bluehost to handle the DNS, or change the A record if you want the DNS as is but have the site at bluehost.

Yes. This is very common, most businesses will have their DNS managed by one company and have their services managed by another. This is known as a failover, if one company fails/loses interest in the business. You will not completely lose your setup. Blue host provides a KB Article here: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/559

This shows how to edit their DNS, this may be useful for BigRock.

Thank you.
