As you have had no answers yet, this may help you get started.

I would guess that you have either not setup the mailserver on your webserver or you have not opened up the port to allow moodle to send mail by default mesthods (if that makes sense).

Bluehost seems to have their own scripts available described here

As Bluehost seems to use cPanel. This link heaps praise on some videos that someone did on installing moodle using cPanel

Hope that helps.
