Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

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.

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

$2?! I hope that you're paying for a server as well. My domain only charges me €8 a year!

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's for the server, I don't have a domain, I use a free subdomain

Change domain provider perhaps?
