Well this is a little reply to questions some of you may be asking ? I may donate, but what are my donations being used for ?!

 Well the answer is simple, it's used to pay for the Zone-Anime hosting. If you're wondering, Zone-Anime gets over 10000+ people [unique visitors] per day, on top of that we have to pay money to keep ourselves protected from DDOS [hacking attempts] from rogue anime sites. This means that not only do we have to pay extra to protect ourselves, we have to get a good server as our CPU usage is high and this is what costs us so much. 

Well at the moment here is a break down of our costs, we do try to keep them as low as possible.

At the moment we have 3 servers :

  • AniTube.net webhosting & Zone-Anime server  = $80
  • MangaConnection.com server = $30
  • Zone-Anime's Ongoing anime DDL box = $75

Yes it isn't a small amount, I'm a student and I almost always end up paying a large amount of these costs. But if you have a few bucks to spare, please donate, lately we have been trying to give donators a few advantages like DDL and the advantages will only get better ^^. 

We have other fees to pay as well, scripts / templates, server management costs etc. The banner adverts on the site help us pay a portion of that off. Our advert money goes into our upgrade fund which I use to get people to code awesome scripts ^^ = Cool features).  Thanks for your support.
