Hi, if you don't like the idea of being paid, then don't :p you do it for fun, cool, others are not motivated and they might be motivated with a little money.. or just for the fun of "I can get paid"... About godaddy, I didn't take any subscription there, we're still waiting to see which hosting plan is best, with which service, and do we want a virtual dedicated server or just a site hosting (no ssh, only ftp...) we'll see.. The choice will be made depending on how much the ads can generate...
