Hey guys, Unfortunately I came to this conclusion... I can't afford my www.oryzhon.com website. Even though it's cheap considering other hosts I just can't because I have no source of revenue of my own, and I hate to dig on my own pocket for things that I know won't pay off...
The website is paid till December 2014, and I wanted to know what would you guys do to maintain the website..

I know its a long time till December, and I think I can pay another 14€ from my pocket (1 year payment), but I don't know for how long... Not sure if you get my point, The thing is: What if I'm carrying it for a long time and it turns out nothing?

I have the website since 2011 or 2012 I'm not sure.. And in 2013 it had more than 6k unique visitors...

Thanks for the help

PS: The problem here is not money, I CAN afford the website, the real problem is affording it without my "real" money... So far I've payed with virtual money won in the internet (nothing illegal dont worry) and my parents are ok with it.. But if I start paying with the "real" cash they will shut me down for sure because they don't approve me doing this...

Host it on your RPI, something like that. Or start putting it out as a resume site type thing (You'll have to change it a bit, I think) and tell your parents its helping you get a job.

Well i would still have to pay for the domain :/ And would my RPI could handle it? like security reasons and stuff..

as long as the bandwidth isn't crazy i can host it. I got some room.

Halls i appreciate it really, But i don't know, I don't want it like that (Hope you understand).
The problem is that the domain is already a little "known", and it would be a shame to change from www.oryzhon.com to http://www.oryzhon.supermegafreehost.om ... t.info.com

But I appreciate I'll eventually pay for it and tell my parents that's helping me get a job (it is actually, since there's the place where i post my games, and my personal website).

I think we can re-use our domain can't we?

Not really your money then, if they control it so

(granted if it were underage buying of beer or cigarettes as a parent I'd step on it too. But I don't know whether running a website would give you cancer. I'm thinking not. Seems like the sort of thing you'd want to encourage as a parent)

Yeah my parents are old school... They appear to have stopped in time... But I will try to convince them...

Well I guess so, but what if someone else picks it up while my website is down?

Yeah, you don't want it to lapse. There are cybersquatters out there that have lists of used domains, and will grab them if they come up just so they can sell it back to the owner for thousands if they ever want it again.
