  I have a charity domain name and website currently hosted by a company that is ceasing. Can I move the domain name and website to WordPress and can someone point me in the right direction, please?

  There is absolutely nothing wrong with moving your domain to WordPress. You get the extra of knowing you are moving to the builders of the CMS you love. However, their prices seem to be high as you scale upwards. I would go with a good commercial host who offers the reliability I want for a bit less. BUT then money might be the least of your worries not so?
