Today I was wondering that if I am correct than Bitcointalk was created in 2009, and mostly Satoshi was the owner and than he or his organization has been Ghosted and it's account is offline. So I was wondering that who pays Domain Name service fee per year. And it could not be free. And still how this website is running?
You just raised an important question that I had never imagined before. But, if my calculations are correct, the forum's statistics and the traffic generated by campaigns advertising here make purchasing a domain easy. Even if it costs 1BTC per year to renew the domain, I don't think it will be difficult to get a raise from management, especially since I'm sure there are employees here who are compensated for their efforts.
It not going to cost that high I have renews a lot of my domains some on auto and Namecheap charge me $12 to $16 but right now it's hard to buy a domain with the word Bitcoin on it and if even you find out that sometimes it costs a lot up to $5k but renewing is cheap, I'm glad that domain will expire on 2029 and hosting is also taken care of the admin team.
Bitcointalk.org is one of a kind there will be no Cryptocurrency forum like Bitcointalk
