Renew, Swap or Call It A Day?

[cazkins]

Hello,

I hope everyone’s well! Sorry if this is a stupid question or has been asked elsewhere but I’m not quite sure what I’m doing with this blogging malarky. I currently self-host a WordPress blog that’s fairly basic (www.invisiblyme.com) I use ads but haven’t made any money from it, though that’s perhaps not too surprising.

I signed up for a first year introductory rate with InMotionHosting, which was about £35 I think. The time has come to decide whether to renew this next month, change provider or call it a day. I’d like to keep going, but the renewal price is far too high for me to afford at over £100.

My question is - can you simply not renew and chose another provider on the day the InMotionHosting runs out? If so, can I use another introductory rate with another company without losing anything I’ve done with my blog? I assume the answers are all yes, but I want to make sure I don’t make any mistakes. I’m also not sure who to go with as I want the cheapest option ideally as I can’t afford or justify spending much more. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thank you

Yes you are correct

nothing is stopping you from just moving over to Vidahost or whoever (where you can use JUSTASK at the basket and get 20% off) and then porting your domain over to them
