New Server

[Ralle]

As some of you already know, I will start hosting hiveworkshop.com from a different location soon. I am going to host the server myself. I have recently ordered hardware for the server.
The new hardware will improve the performance of the server a whole lot. We will be getting 4 GB of ram, a dualcore 2.8 Ghz processor and two 500 GB RAID drives.

I hope this project will go very well.

Please consider donating to hive, since this leaves a big hole in my own bank account.

I'm more motivated to donate now, but I'm afraid I don't have much.

Looking forward to the new server!

 

[Pyritie]

I'll see if I can convince my parents to let me donate again. (Paypal doesn't like Solo cards)

 

[Angelusz]

Well, at least you're dedicated ^_^ I can't help but wonder, what about your net connection? Is that faster too?

 

[adythewolf]

I don't think my parents will let me donate(even throught is my own money)
But I'll try to convince them.
ralle you're the best

 

[Hoernchen]

Does that mean you don't have to pay the $150 per month anymore?

 

[MasterHaosis]

I will try to donate man !

not 100% positive but I believe with your own gear you still have server charges, just lower.

Really now all money is going twards power bandwith and upgrade costs

 

[Maelstrom_]

Good on you Ralle I hope all goes well
Sorry I cannot donate, no money & no online accounts of any kind Lol

 

[DarkDenizen]

Niiiice. Switching jobs next week, so I might be able to put in a decent chunk of money.

 

[Ralle]

The payment per month will be greatly decreased. Around 50$ maybe. And a 3-4 times better server!
We currently have a 10mbps connecton but we may switch to 25 mbps.
I will be paying my parents for power and the increased bandwidth

 

[RED BARON]

Neat

I donate when I get some money.. in around half a month

 

[Volvox]

I'm earning some money now(not 2 much) but it's going on my paypal account slowly. I gathered 1$(wow) and when i get more, i'll be happy to donate.

 

[brad.dude03]

I will donate as soon as I can! Twenty Canadian dollars are headed your way to recoup this great expense. Exciting times are ahead I think

 

[Hoernchen]

hmm cool i dont really care that much, cause hiveworkshop was always perfect, since it never lagged, ive never seen it down and sites load really fast, but if it saves you money, then thats also good

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Ralle, do you also accept euros?

 

[Pyritie]

Paypal just takes money from your credit card, so it'll get converted into dollars.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

So technicly it's way cheaper for European people to donate, heh.

Back to topic: Uhm, what was the topic again? Server or donation?

The topic was the server...

Different number and currency, but same value. I donated whatever was the £ equivalent of $20. (My relatives all live in the US so I get money from them for my birthday & christmas)

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

but euros are like 1.2% worth of a U.S $ and pounds are like worth 1.7% I think, may be off a bit, compared to U.S dollar so it would be easier for brits to donate. now eastern europeans that aren't in the united europeans thing they are screwed for donating.

 

[Pyritie]

At the moment, £1 = $2ish.

And obviously you don't know much about currency rates. I could say I have £400 in the bank or I could say I have $800; it's the same amount of money. To donate $20, sure, the number of £ we pay is less, but it has the same value as $20. Or if you were in japan, you'd have to pay 4,000 yen, but that'd still be worth the same as $20. (I think it's 4k anyway...)

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

i'm in goverment now and we are talking about economy, 1 pound, or 1 euro is just as easy as getting $1 the dif is they are worth more, anyways off topic.

I'll try to donate but my dad's a dick so it's kinda hard to let him let me use his paypal.

 

[busterkomo]

Excellent, +rep
I can donate I guess.

 

[Gilles]

I will be able to donate in March. I'll be 18 then. : )

 

[redillusions]

when i get a job ill see if i can doate, this site is to helpfull to let it be destroyed due to costs.

 

[Shados]

Yay. I donated $35 USD. Now if someone could donate me $300 AUD for computer parts ;P.

-*meow*

 

[DustWolf]

wow good job
I wish I could donate but I'm almost broke xD
and I'm not 18 yet >_< crap

 

[Savage-25]

Actually 1 Euro = 1.4796 U.S. dollars, but yeah I'll try and donate.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

25 euros x 1,4796 dollar = 36,99 dollars.

Win.

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

I will donate as soon as I can.
I have a paypal account with tons of money on it, but everytime I try to donate with it...I am asked to confirm a bank account.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I shall donate all my money when I die.

Just only 5 months left.


Edit: Stopped being emo xD

 

[Runepriest]

Well just ignore the message, you can stil use it. The bank account confirming is only for your own safety.
