Hello! Just wanted to say Hi and thanks for having me here!
I'm Soraya. I'm a (reluctant) member of Wealthy Affiliate, and I decided to leave last year already, but my membership is yearly so I'm still there until that runs out.
Yesterday, after a few weeks of not checking in, I suddenly discovered a message - that Partha, one of the World's Greatest Inspirational Speakers of all time, was leaving WA!! OMG.
Quick, contact Diane!! (Thank you Diane!!☺️)
So here I am, assuming I will find an amazing place full of amazing people here!!
As for online work, I'm the owner of a dead blog. It was murdered by the Google Helpful Content Update - and so far, I've made no attempt to save it.
I am now looking to transfer my two websites away from WA. Any suggestions of which host I should go with would be much appreciated!!
I'm a spiritual mindset coach, vegan foodie, and generally one of life's happiest of people! 
Do you have any comments or advice for me lol?
I'm looking forward to connecting with you here!

Hey Soraya,
Long time!!
Aww, bless you!!
Lovely to see you anyway.
Yep, I've got loads to teach over the coming days, weeks, and months, and yep, I would say that many here (maybe most) have seen traffic from Google almost dwindle to zero in recent months, so you're definitely not alone.
As for hosting, although there are probably cheaper options, I'd suggest the one that I use
Just so you know, the link above has my affiliate link (I realised that over the years a lot of WA members had asked me, and in the end around 16 members have made the switch, at least 5 of them are here, and I have NEVER used an affiliate link. Why Not?? 🤣🤣🤣 I just spoke about my experience, shared some info, and sent people there. So, I thought I may as well start offering my affiliate link now when people ask 🤣🤣🤣)
The hosting is probably the best I have found in the entire industry (and I've used well over 15 different hosting platforms now).
The basic package is $24.99 per month and you can host up to 5 websites on that package.
They can work off your website backup url to transfer hosting, which you can request from WA sitesupport.
The transfer is usually extremely quick and with a few days.
You can then either point your domain at the hosting from WA by adding WPX nameservers (the option for nameservers at WA under their SiteDomains section only allows for 2 nameservers, WPX requires 3 nameservers, so you will need to ask WA SiteSupport to add the nameservers for you<--any problems, just ask here, there are at least 5 current WA members here on the forum who have their domain nameservers pointing from WA to WPX Hosting).
OR
You can also transfer your domains to WPX, but be aware that when you transfer domains to ANY registrar you'll need to pay the annual fee again (WPX domains are $13.99 BEFORE VAT, so approxaimtely $17).
But, you don't have to transfer the domains immediately, so you can just point the domain nameservers to WPX (which Site Support will do for you).
As for a quick WPX "review", here's a TRUE, but sarcastic one for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
WPX REVIEW
I haven't spoken to WPX SiteSupport since Janary 2023, so about 16 months.
This means in 16 months I have NOT had any problems AT ALL with my sites.
THINGS I HAVEN'T HAD TO WORRY ABOUT
- Being unable to log into WordPress
- Website being offline and being told that "Site Support are aware and dealing with it" (Nope, this NEVER happens)
- White Screen of Death
- Having to clear cache 7,000,000 times per day (I haven't had to "clear cache" for anything on my websites in years)
- Comments not registering
- Site Speed is Terrible
- You can't use certain plugins, even though you've paid for them
- Hosting so terrible that your website constantly fails Core Web Vitals, Speed Tests, Javascript and CSS issues, etc.
- Being told that a problem on your website is YOUR FAULT!
NOPE!!! Not had to deal with any of these "problems" in years!!! 🤣🤣🤣
So, yep, I definitely recommend WPX Hosting>>
THE END 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, Soraya, lovely to see you, make yourself at "home", and have a read of some forum posts (we've got lots now over the last few weeks)
Speak to you soon.

@partha That's awesome Partha, thank you. I will leave my hosting at WA until September, and then I will come back to this post and follow the steps you've mentioned with your affiliate link. Transferring away to another host seems daunting, but I guess it's just a matter of getting on with it and it feels much better now I have your recommendation for which host to go to.
Thanks!
