I really want to be able to move this site to its own domain name this year. Network Solutions offers the entire hosting package for $26.94 to register and host www.electionpredictions.us. In order to make this site sustainable, I would need to offer advertising spots in order to generate $14.95 a month after the initial set up fee. I think that is quite doable. However, because I am still a minor, (I will be 18 before Election Day), I have no way to pay for the site and legally am not allowed to put up advertising and generate income until mid-October. Therefore, I will probably have to wait until the next election cycle to move to a unique domain for Election Predictions. (I can't even set up a PayPal to accept donations to fund the move.) Just letting readers know the situation. I don't know if there is any way to get around this situation, unless someone wants to buy the domain for $26.94 and transfer it to us here at Election Predictions! Once this site starts generating revenue and I am old enough to open a PayPal account, I can easily reimburse you. Anyway, I am integrating polls still from this month. Sara is doing money tables, and they look really nice.
Update: I forgot to mention the benefits of a unique domain:
- Nicer tables
- Interactive maps
- Better presentation
- More features!
- Bullets that actually appear on the page!
