Well, the way things are going, i'm going to have to purchase a Dedicated server just to host ZA >.< , not even DDL.

This is how much the best deal costs me

--> $120 setup + $110 per month

But it's not very good and the hosters rather unknown. The best deal the hosters we have atm [that are good as we havent gone down much ] is :

Any server from here :
https://www.staminus.net/ [inc setup fee]

plus $100 setup , plus $50 per month. <-- Management costs [basically to make sure ZA stays online, someone needs to monitor our server 24 / 7, to protect us from DDOS attacks ]

Needless to say OUCH >.< , but fear not too much, I already saw this coming about 1 month ago , as we were nearly shoved on a dedi box until I installed a cache system on ZA and I starting putting ads all over the place. The most annoying being those news feeds [yeah they're ads :P] but they pay damn good ^^

Basically , ZA gets 5 dollars a day with ads [I only started the video thing yesterday.. but from what I got today that's our revenue, i just hope it doesn't go down. ]

5*31 -->$150

anyways, looking at the servers https://www.staminus.net/?link=servers

This one looks the best :
Intel Pentium4 2.6 1024MB 80GB 1200GB -- $125.00

I'd really like to have 2GB of ram to make sure we don't have any problems, but can't seem to find anything for that :P .

Anyways, that means we need hmm.. soon... $125+ $100 for next month , on top of that AniTube's VPS [50$] got terminated cos of DDOS attacks.. meaning i still have to pay for that >.>

Well this is pritty annoying >.< , I'm not rich and I can't rely on ads much as they may fluctuate.

We can only wait and see ppl, once again we have server problems.. though I never imagined we'd need a dedicated server just to run this site & AniTube .. I miss the days when we were on free hosting

*snaps his fingers and the server just magically appears as his*

Don't be deceived by the holiday specials!

Anyways...serious now...if I had to money to spare, I'd help out, but I just have too much to pay for. Sorry.

Hey like we talked about earlier, when I get some money I will help you out some more. Just wait. some time this week I think.

Cheers, as long as the 1st month for the hosting is paid, we should be fine afterwards , advertising will pay for most of it hopefully ^^

Too bad, we could do more ads, although those feed ads are a huge pain (especially when editing several tabs), I guess its needed T.T

Think of any other way we can get more money?


and on other news, I though anitube.com was an alliance, so where are the other sites, not contributing cash?

No, alliance members only contribute to the site acting as admins / getting traffic.
I prefer it this way.
