Make a full backup of your current websites using a backup plugin of your choice.
After your subscription ends, you will have 30 days to move your sites to another hosting company.
Save a copy of your WA site admin log in details so you can log in during those 30 days.
If you cannot log in via the Site Manager area here, then use the wp admin login page::
http : // yourdomainname dot com /wp-admin
Ask your new host to give you instructions for transferring your site to them. It will require uploading your backup files to the new hosting company server.
Depending on the host, some services will do the transfer for you (WA transfers sites "in" from other hosts), but other services may either charge you or will expect you to do the steps yourself.
At the right time in the process you will also need to log in to your Domain Name Registrar account (where you bought the domain name) to change the DNS address to point it to your new host's server address. NOTE: Do NOT do this in the beginning of the process. It should be the last step because if you do that first, it will prevent you from being able to log in to your site here or there. ~Jude
