    That, and hosting & domains got expensive. It used to be a trivial cost to have a website, now the prices are all “introductory offers” with asterisks.

      I’d say yes but it also really depends where you go. I used to host Feddit.dk at DigitalOcean, it was expensive af for like no hardware at all. Now I use Hetzner instead and it feels reasonable, especially their server auction.

      I’m just renewing a domain I don’t want used for something else at this point. I’m not even paying for hosting.

      Really? I’m paying $2 a month for hosting. Maybe you have bigger needs then

      I use a free subdomain because I don’t have professional needs

      Change domain provider perhaps?
