--> To answer a couple of questions:

1. How much does it cost to buy a .onion domain ?
Answer: Nothing. It's free. You have to 'generate' a .onion address.

--->It's like a DOGECOIN CORE generating a DOGECOIN ADDRESS.

2. When does a .onion expire?
Answer: Never. You generate one, it's yours for life!

3. How much does it cost to HOST a .onion?
Answer: Nothing. YOU, the adult webmaster, host it on your own system.

after you generate a .onion, drop apache or nginx - you're good to go.

====
Hurdles people find in opening a "Tor Hidden Service" is usually the:

torrc or torsocks.conf files in your: '/etc/tor' folder.

Just hit up this thread to get you up and running on Tor Network, with your own generated .onion address.
