just wondering john, and obvioulsy you dont have to tell us.

but if you want to....how much in total has been donated to you from your humble members?

[John]

I don't mind telling you, including Paypal fee's £47.67, I've just renewed one of the domains which cost £12.81 for 2 years, but the next hosting bill isn't due until September'ish

[Nigel.D]

Come on guys for such a superb resource that we have here im sure if everyone put £1.00 in it would help out with the running costs

cuz the most space they have is 500mb and that cant be nearly enough with the amount of info/pics on this website?

We have 20GB of space and 500GB of bandwidth a month but I can increase that if needed, and the host is me, I thought it was a good way to fund the forums hosting bills

oh....so the server is a computer in your room and the "Hawk Hosting" is just for the domain name?

do you have the server on a linux of windows machine?

No the server isn't in my room you would be lucky to host one small site from a home connection, it's in a data centre, it's running on 4x 3.06GHz Xeon CPU's with 512MB cache each and 8GB registered memory, Hawk hosting is the name of the company I set up and yes it is a linux server.

I posted about it here

It seems to be starting to take of slowly, which is what I want, that way I can iron out any bugs or tweak stuff without too much problem.

And yes linux is much safer than Windows
