Long story short; I have a small business that was paying for an SEO company that promised big but did not deliver. They built my site, but after I canceled them I still have to pay a fee for them to host it and I can’t even add or change pictures without paying them additionally. They said I could take over the website but it is hosted on AWS so I would need to go to WordPress. I don’t know anything about it at all. Is this a hard process or super easy and I just don’t know how? I’d love to bring my current site over and just learn to update photos in my gallery and basic modifications. I am somewhat computer savvy but certainly not website savvy. At all. TIA!

Since the site is built on WordPress, you should be able to setup a new hosting account with any service (i.e. SiteGround, Flywheel, WP Engine) and migrate the site off AWS fairly easily as long as you have ADMINISTRATOR access. Hosting services like the ones I mentioned even have plugins that facilitate the process.
Go you YouTube and first search for how to install WordPress on a shared webhost, look for one with a high view count and that is lengthy. After that find videos on how to migrate WordPress.
It may prove to be more efficient for you to pay a WP dev to migrate the site to your new webhost account for you.
I know you guys are helping but it’s still not translating to understandable functions for me. I may be in trouble. Maybe a better follow up question would be, is there a simple, low cost option to have my site recreated on word press and hosted on my google domain in a way that o can then easily do the things I want to do?
First, ask them for the backup via backup plugins like updraft or migration plugins.
Second, choose your hosting of choice. This depends on how much resources you need like ram, storage, etc.
Third, point your domain to your new hosting via DNS and login to wp-admin and restore backup.
Sounds like you don’t even have the admin login so you’re SOL starting from scratch and paying someone to set up the site is your only option
