Any recommendations for moving a blog?

My wife and I just cancelled our account with siteground hosting a WordPress blog. Looking for a cheaper alternative. Willing to get my hands dirty as a web dev, but would like a nice CMS experience for my wife. Also want to keep our existing content. If we can keep our custom domain somehow that would be a win.

Thanks!

Are you technically the owner of the domain? If yes, they (presuming everything is paid for etc) have to give a transfer code upon request.

As for cms's, I wrote a very tiny thing myself but that's not really a cms.

Maybe take a look at Grav or so?

@linuxxx domain name was through siteground so I don't think we own it. When our contract expires in a few days I guess it is up for grabs again?

@cat-on-keyboard May I ask what the domain is? I could look it up for you :)

Take a look at firebase cloud functions, they have hosting as long as you hold the adress.
And then just design the website at will
