Fund Rasing - Need help
« on: July 31, 2006, 11:05:46 AM »

Wreckedgames is coming up for renewal, and I could use all the help I can get.. As, currently, I am searching for employment, and don't have any positive cash flow to keep the server up. Of course, I'm not looking for a handout ;)

But, if you have found that any of the libs/tools/assistance given by this site have helped save you valuable time and energy, I would welcome any support.

Thanks :)

p.s.
Anyone interested in donations, feel free to chose either place to donate to. The only differemce will be that the one under my Sf.net username will send %5 to EFF. The OIS one will go 100% to Wreckedgames.com.. Thanks again.

My cash flow is about the same, I could always offer some storage space, my allocated bandwidth is 200 gigs a month and I never even break 1 gig...  4.5 gigs still free of storage.

Hosting

My dedicated server has 2 terabytes of bandwidth allocated for it per month, and I don't even come close to hitting 1 TB/month. If you'd like to save yourself some bandwidth costs, you're welcome to move your site(s) there. All I ask is that you provide some reports of your current and past bandwidth utilization so that I can estimate your impact on the server's utilization. (I may have 2TB/month, but over utilization costs are something I'd like to avoid.)

Anyhow, since hosting is one of the most expensive parts of running a website, I figured I'd offer. Domain renewals are cheap (~$30/yr).

Here's some quick stats that you'll likely be interested in seeing:

I've personally downloaded files off of this machine at over 400Kb/sec (which is saturating my cable downstream at that point). The box itself is located in a RackSpace data center in Virginia, with redundant power supplies and backup generators and all that jazz. It's running Plesk with Apache 2, MySQL 3.23, PHP 4.3, and Python 2.3.3 (mod_python is installed). I also have SVN and Trac installed.  The only thing I won't do is backup your data for you, but since you aren't an idiot I can give you shell access via ssh and you can perform whatever sort of actions you need with that.

Anyhow, just figured I'd offer. I know moving a site can be a real PITA, but I think you'll like not having to pay for hosting (though if you want to donate, feel free! ;))
