The future of the forum:
#12
Our local motorcycling forum was preserved by removing the localy hosted pictures.
A drastic cut, but with zero budget, it was an option.

I use & recommend Porkbun for domain registration without spending more than necessary (if I got it right, renewal for a co.uk domain is around $6 per year there).

For hosting, how much storage space are we talking about?
Huge amount of storage does increase costs - for hosting, and for regular backups too.
But what size are we talking about?

Google AdSense can be used to cover the costs by adding some adverts.
Not ideal, but it works more reliably than relying on donations.

This should be preserved.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
