How is our website serving us?

It's serving us great :D

our main website (librecad.org) is a java based CMS ran on Linode.

We also have our translation server (translate.librecad.org) running on this host and our wordpress blog (blog.librecad.org).

I'm wondering is paying for the website is beneficial.

Yes other whise I don't think we would have a website, a blog and the translation server at all.

We could be using librecad.github.io for free.

But how do we run the website (as I like it... since I have to support it)

I don't know how the custom domain works, if they provide a VM that we can use with root access, I am willing to consider.

At least we could be using it as a mirror,

and it would allow people to submit pull requests if they wanted to contribute.

I don't see the point, can you explain how this would be beneficial?

As far as I understand, a github.io subdomain that just redirects to a real domain (from https://help.github.com/articles/about-custom-domains-for-github-pages-sites/)

so there is nothing that github really hosts, unless I am wrong..
