Hosting contribution - help appreciated - finalised

Post by Pat »

In order to make a payment, please PM lestat. Once you have paid, post here and I'll mark it off. If you can't pay, also leave a note. :)

The payment works out at $6.30 each. (total was about 132 AUD)

There is a cost associated with running this board, and this has already been paid by the person who established it. It's only fair that we all contribute (if possible) so that we can keep it going.

I'm happy to put in an equal share of the cost with anyone else who is willing. No need to feel bad if you cant though, of course it's not expected. :)

The cost amounts to about $135 AUD (after exchange rates factor in) so if we could get 10 people interested, thats only 13 bucks each or so.

People keen so far:

Cletus - paid
Pat - paid
Jizz - paid
Juzbuffa - paid
selfish
sonic jam - paid
shaneus - paid
greywizzard
scullibundo - paid
chaos - paid
lepo5 - paid
replica
DJ Bigk - paid
sly renegade
Pep
Muzza - paid
Agonny
Timbo
Froggy - paid
unfkn - paid
Cardsy - paid

More added later. Let us know if you can pay before the week ends so we can reimburse him.

Thanks :)

edit: 21 people. This is going to be bugger-all, guys. :up: :up:

($6.30 each at this stage!)

The list is locked now to avoid overpayment, thanks again guys.

(Let me know if I miss anyone)

HOLY SHIT.

I just checked, we've actually got 74.5 gig free (growing at 500 meg a week).

We get two TERABYTES a month of bandwidth.

So yeah. Let me know eh? You'd have to handle domain rego, but we could handle the actual hosting, can give you a sub account on there.

Unforuntately it's paid for 12months, so i guess we'll stick with what we got, but had we known we could of stuck it on your server, we'll look to probably move after our year is up mech and take you up on that offer, sounds like you guys have got a shit load of capacity.

Yeah we got a great deal a while back and they just keep extending it... it's easy as for me to chuck another domain on there and give you guys accounts, so maybe next year :)

Thanks for the offer mech, that is definitely appreciated. Out of interest, I assume that's enough space to comfortably hold both sites even factoring in a big increase in useage???

well apparently the current playnow uses 100gb of traffic a month, so with 2tb of traffic on the 4bg i can see no capacity issues if we moved. We've got 250gb of transfer now, that should be ok. It all depends if we start wanting to do more stuff than just forum activity.

We're using 1% of our bandwidth and less than 3% of our disk space... I think we could cope... :D

That sounds great then mech. If we end up doing that too, Im assuming a contribution to your hosting costs would be in order. :up:

I think, so far as money goes, we can leave it til the end of the week. Then we can divide the cost between everyone and work it out. I'm assuming the payment method will have to be negotiated with lestat - so I guess that can be done privately through PMs or msn, whatever suits him. :up:

This is great support by the way :D

Yep we'll do what pat said, at the end of the week we'll count all the people who said they contribute and split the cost evenly between people. It's sitting on my cc now, so i guess people can bpay the money onto the cc or direct debit it. What ever is easy for people. I wanna make sure people don't overpay.
