Correct handling will not affect. After the domain name transfer out is completed, you need to go to the background of namesilo, add all the DNS records of your original bluehost again, and then change the nameservers to Namsilo's own NS in the background of namesilo. Please refer to the method for modifying NS in Namesilo Methods of modifying NS for Namesilo, godaddy and HiChina domain names
2) The Bluehost domain name still has several years to expire. Is it recalculated or can it continue to be valid after being transferred out?
Any domain name transfer out does not affect the validity period. The original validity period is as long as it is. However, when it is transferred to namesilo, it needs to be renewed for one year, so the validity period will be extended for another year.
