I just received my domain renewal notice from Go Daddy. Apparently my awesome 2 year stint at having my own domain name is up and it is time to renew. When I created this site initially, I got a great deal for two years but now that renewal time is approaching, Go Daddy wants $350 from me to keep this site going for another two years! I can already hear Vans now …. “What!? Are you kidding?! Unless this site earns you money there is no point!” Sigh. Sadly he is right. I hate it when he is right.
My old blogspot site is still up over at www.trailmomma.blogspot.com however I believe I have zero (or at least very little) photo space on that site as I reached my limit a few years ago. What can I say!? I liked posting photos of all my runs.
Decisions decisions. I love my blog. I can’t really tell who even reads it other than family and maybe some close friends. It is my creative outlet but, once again I hear Vans – “you need a less expensive outlet!”
I have until June 18th to decide what to do. I could chose to “park” my domain and just not renew the other “products” … really I need a class in what kind of products I have in general as I am not tech savvy in that regard. Anyone care to explain it to me? Should I just pay $5.99 for a month until I can figure it out? Sadly, I think I will incur more fees if I do that and eventually decide to keep this site going. Right now, that price includes a “renewal discount” from Go Daddy. Gee, thanks?

I am super happy I was able to get my last post published though. It apparently has helped quite a few people based on some comments that I have received on various social media sites and via email. If I helped just ONE person with that post, then I am content. I will be sad to see this site go along with all the photos, stories and race reports that I have posted throughout the last two years. I wish I could print them all and put them in a book for my girls to read some day. 🙁 That is what I originally envisioned, unfortunately, maintenance and web hosting was never a thought.
Tis a sad day for this Trailmomma. 🙁

Hi! I’m a new (and local!) reader and love your blog! Why not look for other registrars and hosting services? GoDaddy is awful-the CEO posts pictures of himself trophy hunting elephants and other large “game” animals. Netfirms is great and if you call then I’ll bet they would talk you through the transfer and maybe even give you a discount? I hope you keep the site going! Good luck!
Suebeedoo Thanks again!
Ps-I thought I was logged out in when I commented just now, sorry! This is Sue Beedoo from the Foresthill area 🙂
Pam, I am the last person to chime in about “tech stuff”, but I notice that many times you post your blogs on FB. Will you still be able to do that? I for one would really miss your blogs about your running events and of course the girls. I hope things will work out for you!!
No Debbie, it wouldn’t. When I write a post, I have my blog automatically sent up to post it on my Trailmomma facebook page but if I don’t have a blog, there will be nothing to post. I need to some research and look into other sites like Suebeedoo above commented!
Your blog is one of my favorites! I know nothing about blogs so no advice. I hope you find a solution. I’ll miss you if you go.
Thanks Rebecca! I am going to research some other domains and sites to see if I can find another way. I won’t give up just yet! Thank you for your kind words!
I really enjoy your blog posts!!! Now that I’m back running and transitioning to vegan lifestyle I find your posts inspiring!
Thanks Karen! I am going to figure out a way to keep it up. Someone suggested moving away from GoDaddy. I may look into that! Keep running and keep up that vegan lifestyle!! Great to hear!
Can you allow people to advertise on your page? If so you may be able to get some of the plant based companies to advertise and pay for your webpage that way…just a thought. No idea how to go about making that happen, but I’m sure you could figure it out! 🙂
^^^ that was Rachel’s idea! #tastetherainbow
hmmm very good idea! LOL #tastetherainbow!
