Well, not exactly with Linden Dollars but from the $USD I got by converting the Linden Dollars I earned through the many linden dollar earning opportunities available in Second Life.I moved all my sites, including Kabalyero, from my old host, Site5, to Bluehost and I paid it with the money I earned from Second Life.
I wasn’t really planning on moving to a new host. The decision came after learning that Site5 will no longer accept or is no longer accepting specialized cards like Electron and Maestro which was bad news for me since my card is an Electron card. My hosting will expire this December and that’s just a few days (more or less 2 weeks) from now. So I converted some Linden Dollars to $USD, withdrew it through PayPal and paid Bluehost for my new web hosting.
Why Bluehost? Well, I had 3 hosting providers in mind; Lunarpages, Bluehost and Hostgator. I like Hostgator the best and it’s highly recommended by a friend who was in the web hosting business but the price was a little over my budget so the choice was narrowed down to two. Lunarpages and Bluehost were, as far as my selection goes, equal but I decided to go with Bluehost because none of the people I know host their websites with Lunarpages whereas I know 2 people who host their websites with Bluehost and they are very satisfied with it so far. That is how I came with the decision.
If you were here before then you might have noticed the emergency maintenance message and the brief downtime of the site. That’s because I was downloading the site and doing some DNS changes during those time. The only problem I encountered were with the database but that was easily resolved but overall the transfer was smooth. Anyway, if you do find any problem just give me a quick buzz so that I can work on it ASAP.
There are so many ways to earn linden dollars in second life and you can find some of it here and if I can pay my web hosting with the money I earned from Second Life then so can you. If you get lucky, you can even keep some of it for yourself. 
P.S. The hosting came with a new Domain Name so I took advantage and registered WEBATBP.COM! What I’ll do with it? I’m not quite sure yet but I will think of something.

No wonder your site is down for 180 minute. I was about to access your site when I saw that error messag. I even thought that your site was hacked
[...] Paid My New Hosting with Linden Dollars [...]
I thought you are earning enough from the ads in your blog to pay for your hosting since your blog is so popular. Maybe I am so wrong.
As for your card, maybe you can consider purchasing a virtual reloaded visa/master card debit card.
I wish I could do the same but I like to keep my monies for myself. lol
Maybe, sometime in the future when I have a clear idea of what I really want to blog about but for now I’ll keep them all. lol
Hi there been reading your site and for me to be glued to reading somthing is amazing for me as i kind of normally skip through but this time i was very interested in reading what you have to say about hosting providers… glad you found a good one though because there is alot of sharks out there.
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
