  The host I am using now started at $2.95 and went up to 4.95 and next year monthly cost will be 7.95. Four years from now it will be 17.95. I feel that is exorbitant. Am I wrong to feel that way?
  Can I have wordpress as my host?

  Hey there,

  The host I am using now started at $2.95 and went up to 4.95 and next year monthly cost will be 7.95. Four years from now it will be 17.95. I feel that is exorbitant. Am I wrong to feel that way?
  Can I have wordpress as my host?

  We do host sites, sure! Our plans include SSL hosting, maintenance, security, and WordPress support:
  https://wordpress.com/pricing

  Our services are also a bit different from traditional hosting:
  https://get.wp.com

  Regarding price differences, yes many hosts do charge very little to start, then increase prices later. The costs for hosting sites have also gone up quite a bit over the past decade, so you might be seeing a combination of both of those factors.

  Let us know what features you need and we’ll try to match you to the right plan here.

  Also, regarding moving hosts, yes there are ways. Here’s how to migrate a site to our services:
  https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/

  If you need to move a DIY installation of WordPress to a different host that also doesn’t manage the site for you, there are some migration plugins that can help, or you can check to see if the hosts are using similar admin tools (cPanel for example) and move a backup that way.

  I hope that helps! Let us know if you have more questions on this.

  Thank you. I believe I will start with the 8 dollars a month plan since I have ebooks I am promoting but Blue host is paid until the end of September. Will the 8 dollar package be available after August?

  Will the SSL be free of charge on WordPress hosting?

  I hope to be more specific in asking about moving my wordpress website from Blue Host to WordPress. I have been cautioned about losing my website totally.
