I ask, the PayPal no-login option from where?.  From what I understand 
you need to be logged into paypal to operate it, am I wrong?.  I wonder 
if this is a problem with PayPal or an outdated code from the Dragora 
donation section.

This sounds very good!

The renovation of the site is set for 2023-03-01.  I just checked and 
the value in Argentinian pesos will be 40545.55(ARS), considering the 
conversion to the CURRENT dollar value, it would come out:

    50 USD (rounded).

1 ARS = 0,00123113 USD
1 USD = 812,259 ARS

With inflation in the country, it is expensive for us.

My "only condition" would be that if you set up a server, I would not 
want to maintain a web server (manually) because of the time it might 
take to set it up and keep it up to date.  (I don't know how much time I 
would have to do this.)

If you already have a scheme set up, then I think there will be no 
problem uploading the website there.  :-)

Regarding DNS, they are provided by the hosting service.

Thanks a lot!
