Yes, you will be able to move your site to a new host (if you kept a backup), but your site's address (the URL) will change.

Forums are most often a waste of time for affiliate marketers. You not only have to muck your way through hoards of useless replies (moderators let users post a lot of stupid one liners), many or most forums do not allow affiliate links (except, sometimes, in your signature).
