    I am retiring and want to end my website hosting by Namesco. But I want to keep my WordPress files such as posts etc. Will they still be available when I log into my WordPress account or will the host wipe them or make them unavailable somehow?

    Your posts are in your wordpress database, not in files. If you want to keep your WP, use something like https://localwp.com to install a copy of your site on your local computer. Your host will not preserve this for you unless you continue paying them for hosting.

    I am not a professional at all so maybe what Steven the moderator said is better, but there is a site called InfinityFree that offers free hosting, you can check that out. You still have to pay for a domain but if you don’t want that, you can use a free subdomain.
