Domain renewal is definitely the lesser cost to maintaining a website. If you can afford the server, the domain is basically free already.

- cyberbanjo 6y agoWhy is that? I can point a domain at free hosting. GitHub Pages and SDF.org come to mind.
- mapgrep 6y agoBlogger and Tumblr will map a domain to a blog for free.

- mapgrep 6y agoBlogger has been serving urls for something like 17 years. I’d wager its sites have something like 2x or more average url lifespan at this point than the typical site. What we want right now is more url stability not perfect assurance of 100 year url lifespan. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
- account42 6y agoFor most websites maybe, but you can change host to cut costs if needed. Not so with domains if you want to keep the URLs working.
