  I already have a host and domain name, both of which are paid up for the next two years, so don’t really want to change.

  Can I use WordPress to create my website to be hosted by my current host?

  Or is there another way I should be doing it?

  Yes – you can install the WordPress.ORG software on your current web site – your host probably has a “one button install” for that

  You can get more help at WordPress.ORG – http://wordpress.org/

  Thanks for your help. I found the link through my host and installed WordPress last night.
  I’m looking forward to getting started on my website. It’s going to take me ages to choose a theme I like!!
