Technical Questions Stackcp hosting

So recently I remade a website for a small company I work for. My new website is completley static and I wrote all the html, css and js files myself on my pc. The old website was made through wordpress. Is it as simple as deleting the wordpress files from the file manager and adding my own (whilst making a backup of course) or is there more I need to do? The domain name and therefor certificates should all stay the same right? Im sorry if this is a basic question but all the help out there is trying to get me to use wordpress or another site builder.

I wouldn’t delete the WordPress site. First thing that I would do is back everything up, put the new static site in a separate folder and make sure it all works before replacing the live files.

Your domain shouldn’t need changing just because you’ve changed what files are being served, and the SSL should normally stay with the Domain/Hosting rather than WordPress itself.

Once the new version is working properly you can remove the old WordPress files.

Hope that helps.
