Updated – GoFundMe for Website Operating Costs

The goal was reached in less than 24 hours. I’m happy we have 4 new sponsors and we are all set for 3 more years.

Thanks to Greg Kline, Kathy Hecht Langdon, Karen Southworth, and Mark and Caryn (Campbell) Devlin.

3 years ago I intended to discontinue the website, but had a number of requests to keep it going, so I found a new hosting service that offered a good deal for a 3 year plan, and had a short GoFundMe campaign to help with costs.

The 3 years is up soon, and though the new customer deal is no longer available, at a little under $8 / month, it’s not bad. Definitely not worth changing hosting service, as the one we use is one of the highest rated, and it is a major PITA to change. I will continue to cover the domain name registration cost myself, which is something under $20/year.

Since I self-funded the website for many years I am attempting to raise some money to allow the website to be available for 3 more years. Some of the details are in the link, but just trying to raise $250. The money goes to me personally, as I pay the bill. I will stop the campaign as soon as the goal is met.
