Cloud hosting costs & donations
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2015 12:56 am
Hi folks,
We've now been on the new server for over six months, and till now we've been able to pay every bill wholly off donations - so thank you to all of you who have contributed. However, the account is a little low right now, and won't cover the coming month's bill (at the end of August).
I've been posting the bills in this thread month by month - you can see that the cost is usually in the $170-180 range per month. Since we've had around 650 players in the last month, 460 of whom have played characters of at least level 6, the cost of hosting is under 50c per month per active player, which I think is excellent value.
Since we can't set up Paypal subscriptions without paying for a premium account, I've promised to let you all know when the account gets low to remind people to donate. So... consider this a reminder, please, and let's see if we can top the account up again.
To donate:
- Send money via Paypal to arelith.server@gmail.com
- Include your forum name in the donation message or PM me on the forums with your Paypal name or email address to get a contributor badge added to your forum account.
Thank you all!
