transferring my website and blog to wordpress

  • Hi
    i have had a website for years https://www.yasminesamiry.com and from there you can find my blog https://www.yasminesamiry.com/blog that you can click from within the website.
    My website was created by a pro and am paying quite a bit for it but am not satisfied with it plus i want to “downgrade” as it is a little dormant for now. Still i don′t want to just delete it i want to keep it to a minimum.
    i would like to create a free website myself using wordpress. My blog is from www.remarpro.com and the link between blog and web was made by that company, who also created the website. Am not a tech person and even though it takes me ages to make anything on wordpress, i have managed so far but still lack some basic knowledge-
    I use godaddy for my domain, used them for years now, no issues so far.

    My question is
    if i stop my website and create one of my own using wordpress, will my web and blog still be connected? Can i have a custom name for my blog? will i require another domain name then? what do i have to do if this is the case even though am not sure if i want these connected in the future.
    what steps do i need to take if i want to stop paying that company for my website and transfer it to wordpress (both website and blog, together or separately).
    thanks in advance for your reply

    Just to chime in on that last part.

    what steps do i need to take if i want to stop paying that company for my website and transfer it to wordpress (both website and blog, together or separately).

    www.remarpro.com (this place) does not offer anyone any hosting, just the software.

    For basic getting started information give this a read.

    thanks Jan,
    yes i have had my wordpress site for a year now and i sometimes i know stuff and sometimes i mix it all up.
    i know what wordpress does but i don′t know what i need for the next step.
    May seem ignorant to you but i have dealt with all this years ago and read all about it… and as i left it all dormant….now i forgot what is needed as i don′t use it.
    I have jump started and learned about all this here and there, am no expert in this are, we all have our different expertise.
    So yes i will read up on all this, again, and maybe forget it until i need it again.
    in the meantime would be more useful if you could just tell me what i need to do for transferring to wordpress, connecting to blog, etc.
    so I am not new to wordpress and i have started already, i want a similar free website, using wordpress, with what i have, what is next?
    if i “abandon” my website, what to do for me not to lose my blog?
    What do i have to take into account when leaving that company and going wordpress? what do i need to take care of? (have been with them for 5 years)
    these questions may be simple for some but a headache for others, this is why am thankful for this forum!
    thanks
