great info. they are recommended on the hosting advice link someone posted too.

so, our site is new, done on wordpress, we have 2 months left with the current co that designed our website. it’s ‘locked’ on wordpress.com, probably because we’re under contract. But, I could just move the hosting to hostinger without much issue, wouldn’t you think? I know it’s more of a rhetorical question but just trying to get my head around how all of this works.

Unfortunately, it is likely going to be a little more complicated because it is a wordpress.com affiliated site. Ours have all been affiliated with wordpress.org and they are very simple sites that were done by myself. You are probably going to have to do a little more research and possibly get some help from which ever web hosting provider’s support staff that you use.

But don’t get discouraged... in our case it was just following some very easy steps even though it sounded complicated to begin with. Of course, we have transferred from one hosting account to another several times now, so it feels easy at this point.

Sorry posted back to myself:

To be safe, you might think about getting a domain very similar to your current domain like spacejunky2000.org instead of spacejunkie2000.net set it up with whatever provider you prefer and then back up your current website then copy everything over to your new site to make sure that it works. The piddly amounts that you will spend on the new hosting plan probably pale in comparison to what you might have paid someone to design your site.
