Hey everyone! I've got this old WordPress site that I used to build back when it was popular and I actually made some money from it. Lately, it's just been sitting there, gathering digital dust because I haven't been updating it or using it for anything. I'm stuck trying to decide whether I should just kill it off or keep it around. What do you all think?

I’d say keep the site active! The costs are really low, and if you ever want to use it again, having it already set up is a huge bonus. Just make sure to keep WordPress updated since it's a popular target for bots.
If you're worried about upkeep, consider turning it into a static website. That way, you won’t deal with updates or security issues, and you can keep the content online without the hassle.
Can you explain how that works?
Thinking it’s 'not cool' shouldn’t be your reason to delete it. Ask yourself: Is it useless? Is it a financial drain? If it’s not causing issues, there’s no rush to get rid of it. Content is what matters, not the platform it's on.
Exactly! If you need it, keep it. If it’s not serving you, then it's time to make a decision.
WordPress is still a powerhouse, used by a ton of businesses. Just keep your version updated, and you're good to go. It doesn't have to be trendy; focus on the content instead.
Thanks for the perspective!
Hey, don't knock my setup!
Exactly, that’s why I pay to keep mine running. I’ve rebuilt it before and I’m holding onto it for potential future use.
