Most of which are written content.<br> Currently it is built using Wordpress, would making it a static site will be a good idea?</p> <h2> A little bit of background </h2> <p>In black Friday 2018, I've purchased a 3-year package from HostGator which was not so expensive considering that I was making money back then.<br> Since I was used to write in various forums for Arab blind community, I used my new site to gather all of my tutorials and kept writing there since then.</p> <h2> The situation now </h2> <p>My 3-year plan is expiring now, and I need to move the site. My domain from name.com is somewhat expensive and I can't afford much on the hosting. In the mean time I don't want to just close down the site. It has useful content especially for Arab blind users.</p> <h2> looking for </h2> <p>I can do HTML, Javascript and even PHP or Python, I can use Github or any other technology in that matter.<br> Nonetheless, I don't know what is the best option in my case. I don't care about having comments on the site, I just love writing and helping others. Should I keep it on Wordpress as CMS or build a static website?<br> in either case, what are the options in term of hosting?<br> Keep in mind that I have content already, I am not starting fresh. So it is important to keep my old stuff.</p> <p>Any help will be appreciated.<br> thanks.</p> wordpress help static webdev
