  I have an existing website homes4sale101.com using another webhost…. Its a rather large site and expected to be adding more content. Can Word press support this type pf website without me having to lose already created content.

  Hi @mgstoo, sure, you can have thousands of pages or posts on a single site so long as you have room for the media you need.

  If your site is written in plain HTML, as yours seems to be, the biggest challenge will be copying it over if there’s lots of content. We do have some tips on that here:

  I recommend giving your pages on the new site the same names as pages on the old site. For example, “sellers” should be “Sellers” here too. That way, when you move the domain over, links should still work.

  This can be a bit of an undertaking, but do let us know if you need more help, and bear in mind when you have a paid plan, you get direct access to support when you need it.

  Cheers!
