Domains are kind of expensive because they are sold, normally, to adults, not kids making their first website. (5,000 php is roughly $84 USD.) There are sites set up for Filipinos to play games and make crypto, like Pretty and I play games to earn USD. I haven't found any other sites that work in the Philippines that will pay USD to your PayPal accounts. (I'm not good with crypto but there are some Filipinos on myLot who are good with them. Maybe one or more of them will let you know who they are and offer to help you learn how to make money that way. IDK.)

@DevMrSamEleazar Oh, I see. I'm not good at setting up websites, so didn't know they could be run from your web browser.

There are free websites. What is the purpose of your website? Is it the subject of your thesis? I am also surprised that high school students are now required to do a thesis. It use to be for college students in my time.

@DevMrSamEleazar If it is only for a school project you don't need to buy a domain name. You can use the blogging service host domain name unlike a self-hosted website which would require buying a domain name of your own; nightowlsam.wordpress.com or nightowlsam.blogspot.com

@DevMrSamEleazar Use wordpress.com (free) not wordpress.org which requires your own paid domain name.
