Hello,
I Am Quite A Newbie To SSH
I Had My SSH Enabled
I Am Trying To Configure Putty, But Lost In It
Can Someone Please Guide Me Starting With Putty To Use For BlueHost

I Browsed Many Threads Here In Forum But Could Not Get What I Want

I Need To Know What Should Be Entered In Some Configuration Parameters Of Putty,
Like What Should be Host Name Or IP To Use Putty With Bluehost
What Should Be Port No. Or Any Other Paramaters That Need To Be Entered

Thanks

The host name is just your domain name, like www.example.com. Take the defaults for everything else: port is 22, connection type is SSH. You login with your 8-character BH username and your BH password.

Here's a solution that I just wrote today. Hopefully you've already figured it out!
