Title: Server payment coming up
Post by: Ryuoh on March 10, 2012, 10:40:24 PM
Hate to ask this but i dont use this hosting at all for anything but luckyls.com so I really dont want to pay for the hosting which is 240 dollars for another 2 years.... If anyone wants to cover it then ill keep it open if not then ill just let it expire .

Hmm, not sure if there's enough site activity to warrant $240 for it.  We'll see what we can do though.

What kind of alternatives do we have?

I might be able to throw it on my server at home but its not very reliable and subject to be down at any random time.

Hmmm, when's the actual expiration date, end of the month?  I'd pitch in but that's pretty steep given the activity here.

What you been up to lately d00d, any MMOs or anything or hardcore working now?

It ends on 2012/06/08 that is pretty expensive but its the cheapest plan that dreamhost has. I used to have other linkshells pay for it cuz there website was also running on it but i dont really play anymore and the other linkshells all broke apart.

Ive been way too busy to play any kind of mmo lately just been working and going to school and stuff. Im most likely gonna play diablo 3 when it comes out though and i do play league of legends from time to time.

Dreamhost is RIDICULOUSLY expensive, there is no reason to be using it...
I have hostmonster, which is relatively inexpensive and has good support. I think it's currently at $6/mo, with the domain free for 1 year? For 2 years, that adds up to ~$144 + Domain cost for the second year.

There's a Donate button in the corner, does it not work Rei?

Yah ill most likely switch hosts. And yes that donate button does work. And i went with dreamhost because it was 89 dollars for two years just about two years ago and i was trying to get away from godaddy.

Gave what I could... Being a broke college student I don't really have much to give, but hopefully enough people can scrounge up some cash.

ive got a total of 40 so far. Most likely going to have to switch hosts though its no where near enough for dreamhost lol.

If it'd help and everyone would be fine with it, I could host?

Hello, by the way. I still check in from time to time.

Oh hey Riann, been a while!

Mmm, I dunno, you'll have to talk with Fz.

Well, the offer stands.

What's the latest info on this issue?

How much has been raised?

If Nulani wants to host it, I'd be all for it.

Mostly we're in the dark about the status!

Alright, cool, thanks for the update!

I know you don't play anymore and this site is probably a slight thorn in your side, so we do appreciate what you do for us still.
