Server Upgrade - Please Read

Postby allingeneral » Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:31:51

I hate to put this out here at this time of the year when everyone is already strapped by Christmas purchases, but since it's on my radar right now, I figure I may as well start a topic.

The traffic here at VGOF has outgrown the capabilities of our current server. I am looking to upgrade to a heavier duty VPS (Virtual Private Server) or possibly a dedicated server, depending on the finances.

Depending on the choice I make, it will cost between $2,000 and $5,000 per year for hosting costs. I would like to defray these costs with some donations from our members. The current server setup runs $1,400 per year.

Please consider clicking the "Donate" button at the top left of the site or on the left margin of the site and send a few dollars via secure Authorize.net transaction to help cover the costs of hosting our outstanding community. You can also send Paypal payment to rick@allin-enterprises.com if you prefer.

Thanks for your consideration!

I appreciate the quick turn-around guys! I'll be looking to perform the upgrade sometime in the next month or so. I'll be sure to provide updates here when I have them.

Everyone else, please consider donating to the cause. It even comes with a shiny badge for your profile indicating your support level! :)

I don't think it's a good idea to put that online. WHO KNOWS who's checking? I love big-caliber and longe-range rifles and 1911 pistols, and I've got a few.

Next Firearm:
I can always use another 1911.
