Just wondering if anyone has done this before?

I am very new to wordpress.

I have my wordpress on a free site, freehostia.com, but they seem to down a lot. I can't really complain as it is free.

They do have a pay side, which is fairly cheap, but I think Hostgator has more to offer for about the same price.

I want to keep what I have already posted, so is there a way to save what I have already posted and bring it to the new host company. Is there anyway to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Not a problem at all to do. Just use phpmyadmin (or however you access your files) and download a backup of your database. Also you will need to download your theme, etc.

Once you've got your new hosting set-up, domain, etc. then upload and install wordpress, and upload your theme files. Then import your database using phpmyadmin.
