As you likely already know, this site's domain name is hosted by cjb.net, for free.

But cjb.net decided since a while to stop offering free services. Registration for free web hosting has already been closed months ago, but so far I've been able to keep my free account active.

Today, I went to cjb.net to keep it active again. But the option to do so suddenly disappeared. Instead, they're proposing me to renew my account, and they require payment for that.


Basically this means that sometimes soon, kuribo64.cjb.net will go byebye. The exact time is: Thu May 16 13:29:10 2013.


What I'll do, rather than paying for a subdomain that has always been free, is discarding that account and instead registering a real domain name.

I'll probably register it at Cinfu since they offer cheap prices. If anyone knows a better registrar, I'd like to know, though.


Just letting you guys know.

OH! Thats not really the birthday present i wanted since my b-day is pretty close to May 16th :/
Anyway, since you'll have to pay, will you add adds to the forum? To make up for the lost money?

Nah. A standard domain name (.net or such) is barely 10€ per year, which I can afford easily.

I'm thinking about doing it pretty soon, btw. Because once the old domain expires, it'll lead to cjb's homepage, meaning that anyone who wasn't aware of the domain change will be left in the void.

Kuribo64 will finally not look like a cheap noob site hosted on free hosting anymore. Oh and this also means you guys will be able to link Kuribo64 on Facebook. Or so I hope.

He wasn't talking about that, though.

He somehow understood that board accounts were going to be made paid or something. I don't know how he read my post to manage to understand that. Perhaps upside-down?


Board accounts have nothing to do with the domain name, and will always be free.

Yes, he's already doing so, by the way, as he's hosting us :)

What's wrong with .com?
(.net is way more expansive)

Not if you go at the right registrar :)

Anyway most of the people around there seem to use .net or .org.

Oh and notice how our current address is kuribo64.cjb.net. If the new one is kuribo64.net, it's only 4 less letters :)

.com sucks, it makes the site look like it's selling stuff or getting money some other way.
.net rules :)

Also .com costs pretty much the same as .net

So yes, .net is the best choice, yay.

It will work on facebook. Why the fuck would they block off .net websites? :P
