Title: Please read New server
Post by: RC Storick on July 20, 2013, 05:04:26 PM
We are in need of a new server. Our hosting company has a stand alone server with fixed IP address and unlimited disk space and file count. We are almost at our disk file count limit. When I signed up 7 years ago they said unlimited but I have found unlimited does not mean unlimited. The cost went up and the speed has gone down with all the band width. So they said we need the the dedicated server package.

What I am saying with the success of stunt hangar we have out grown our home. Its all up to you. If you wish to grow we need server money. I will make a new badge as a server supporter. (http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=32101.0;attach=131329;image)The donations have just kept us afloat so far with no room for kit give aways and that's OK. On the low side we need 1800.00 and high side we need 3000. 2400 for the middle package. So let me know your thoughts of just make a donation and make it server and we will go from there. I am glad Stunt Hangar is a success and I am happy to maintain it with your help.

Funny how this works. When I started it this was 6 dollars a month and I paid for the server until it got to 40 dollars a month. I then had to tap the kitty. Now its going to 250 a month. Whats next? I hope this new upgrade take us for 10 more years. But that is optimistic with inflation. but a 2 x 1000 GB HDD
15 TB/month should hold use for a while. Not half way yet but close. I am sure buy the end of the week we should do it at this rate. A big thanks to all who make Stunt Hangar a success with information in the posts and monetary input. Don't forget the unpaid labor from all the moderators. Trust me being in charge of a group this large is a trying ordeal, a fine balancing act of friends and personality's.

There is so much information here in a cataloged format making it easy to find just the answer you seek. A vast array of talent in so many fields. Even if we don't agree here it doesn't seem to matter much when we are at the field. Keep in mind when posting life is short and we are few. There have been many times when I get aggravated at someone I write a long post only to re read it and dump it. I am no better than anyone else and the same rules apply to World,national,regional champion,sport flier and beginner. As far as I know everyone puts their pant on one leg at a time.

We're already past the first month payment on the top level, Ty and I covered that.

Hopefully others will look at giving a little bit every month.

I'm in for $20. Not being able to go to Nat's this year but the new tech letting Dave Trible report as he did was inspiring to me and friends for next year's plans. I think C/L interest just moved up a notch.

Still 1400 to go. I think if we can cover the cost of the server and some extra the ones who donated $100.00 or more will get a T shirt as well. That means we will need at least 500.00 over the cost of the server. I will be posting a link for shirts as soon as the design is finalized. The shirt sales will defray some of the cost of the server but what eats that money up is shipping.

I will break it down for you.
Shirt screen 40.00
shirt cost is 9-12.00 depending on size because they are pocket tees and 4 and 5X are double 6 X are custom order and cost me 54.00 last time
envelopes are 2.50
Mailing to Con. US is 6.95 over seas cost up to 16.00 last time. I can't see charging more that I charge to cover costs its just not worth it. You can by a good dress shirt for that.

So it leaves a small profit margin for use elsewhere. Not a lot to be made in the shirt business this way. But it's great to see them at the field. Jackets are $150.00 like Schultz got.
