Hosting Costs

[terryrayc]

Hey guys it's that time of year again. Time to renew the hosting costs and the domain reg costs.

Total cost is around 160.00 Feel free to help out if you can by clicking on

http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=13079 or there is a little box on the portal page that says help with hosting costs, it uses the same link.

Just a reminder this is due in a few days. While I can cover the cost any help would be grateful.

Hi Terryrayc,

I just threw $40 onto the pile to help you. But next time please don't have only Paypal as your only payment option. That entire company is little more than a bunch of shysters and thieves, and it takes me quite a bit of effort to ever do business with them.

The donation part is done through dreamhost themselves, I have no say in who they use... That being said, thanks, LOL with 3 kids and a wife covering the cost of everything myself is starting to get a bit harder so it's nice when players help out.

I tried donating but the site couldn't complete the transaction.

I'll donate some when I get home from work. I don't like doing financial transactions through my work computer. Also, might you consider doing a break down of the server hosting costs in a month to month format? It seems to work well for Avlis, might give it a go here. People are often more willing to donate $5 a month rather than $30 once a year. Silly, but it's all in the perception of how money goes out.

[terryrayc]

Up to you guys. I pay it by the year because I get a good break for it..however if you guys want to donate monthly feel free.

The total yearly cost is $160.00 so monthly 13.33 a month.

Do you have any additional costs relating to Arkaz? I presume it eats up a bit of power on your electric bill for example. Also, does your work pay for your internet, and/or do you pay for a more expensive line because of the server? Feel free to take this to pms if you want.

I agree with Sam. I want to help out!

Ronan and I sent a little something to help with the web hosting costs. Do let us know if there is anything else we (the playerbase) can help with.
