1. Fund Raising Month - 2018

Earlier this year, our hosting fund approached zero. So, it's fund-raising time again!

On February 8, I added 5 months worth of hosting funds to the account.

We are currently paying $7.50/month for hosting, but it would be nice to either 1) get better hosting at the same price, or 2) get better hosting at a slightly higher price. (See this news.)

If you're willing and able to help out, please send funds via PayPal to donations@OpenEuphoria.org.

If you can contribute, thank you! If not, no worries! Please continue to use and enjoy OpenEuphoria!

Thank you!

@_tom: You can add this to the News page as well, I guess. grin

I use Hyper Expert shared web hosting for usingEuphoria.com for $0.99/mo. It includes MySQL and runs Euphoria just fine as CGI.

They also have VPS hosting available if we need that. A single core 1GB machine is only $2.99/mo.

Edit: What I'm saying is: maybe we can get better hosting for a lower price.

That seems like it might be a better deal than what we currently have. Do they use SSD?

Our current system config is "Budget VPS Level 1" (the Tier 1 package?).

Their features page says they have "SSD Cached storage" https://www.hyperexpert.com/features.php

Overall, it looks a bit better for a lot less.

Yeah, looks like you're right about that.

We need to hear from the primary maintainers (mainly @JimCBrown) about moving, unless you know you can get the site moved.

I'm all for moving the site, but the final decision and process will have to be done by the primary devs.

Alrighty then. Looks like Hyper Expert has more VPS plans in stock (they were out when I checked a few days ago).

So how do we move forward? Should we take this discussion offline? (email?)

I just want to say THANK YOU to those of you who donated.

Our fund is now at $108.04.

We are possibly moving to an even cheaper host, so this balance should allow us to keep the site alive for quite a while.

We will always accept donations, and the proceeds will only ever be used for web site hosting fees.

Thanks, again!
