What keeps you from running your own website?

I do run my own website, I have a few. here is one http://www.ebookorama.com this was a site that I used when I was selling on ebay, now I left them so the site has little purpose. I keep on meaning to update it and add stuff but it often gives me a not found 404, strange as other people see it and I can ftp etc just I can't see it so updating it without seeying it isn't so much fun and so I am waiting to see if the problem disappears. Basically the problem doesn't exist if I use a proxy. This is strange as I have this prob from BOTH computers, and they are in different countries!

mostly coz i don't have money to buy hosting and a domain...which i hope will change soon. :)

I run my own website and I also built it. I love to change things on it all the time. I use the Studio 8 program and I still do not know how to work a lot of the features on it, I have not even attempted to use flash yet.

I run one, at quadium32.com. I got it for a Christmas present a while back, and have really enjoyed it. I am starting to do a little experimenting with money making on my site, and may start up a little side business there later. But yes, it takes a lot of time to run a website, but go ahead and try it people, its pretty fun and rewarding to learn about web design. :)
