Website dummy questions
-
I have my own domain name, registered with Crazy Domains.
I also use Bluehost though I’m not sure what for. Emails? Managing cloud storage? It’s quite expensive. Bluehost was set up for me by an IT contractor a few years ago (hence my dumbness on this). I know I don’t store documents in iCloud. I use Dropbox for some things, but otherwise Google Drive.
I want to set up a website using WordPress.
Can WordPress do the services of Crazy Domains (yes, I can see I can transfer the domain but what does WordPress charge per annum – I’m paying $30 for two years) and Bluehost. What does Bluehost do that WordPress can or can’t do.
Before I proceed, all help gratefully received.
Ideally, I’d like to transfer every
thing to one place, if possible. -
Hi there,
What is the domain? It sounds like Bluehost is currently hosting your site, but that’s just a guess. If you tell me the actual domain I can tell you for certain.
Can WordPress do the services of Crazy Domains
Chances are you’re already using WordPress, that is, the open source WordPress software made by the community on WordPress.org.
WordPress.com is another hosting provider for that software, like Bluehost, so yes, in theory it is possible to move your site from Bluehost’s hosting to ours, and you can transfer your domain registration from Crazy Domains to us (depending on the domain).
How much it will cost depends on what features you’ll need. To move your existing domain to us will require at least our Personal Plan, but if you are also using plugins on the existing site that you’d like to continue using with us, you will need our Business Plan.
