Now that the link isn't up,
I don't know how to find it.
Should be a button, on the menu,
or something. |

| Maybe he just didn't want to bug people too much. You know, like PBS only does their money drive once a year. I dunno. I'm sure he can use it though. |

That was the idea originally, but everyone who donated asked to stay anonymous so I removed that option from the page a long time ago. |

Thanks.
WrongPlanet requires dedicated servers, however, and godaddy doesn't offer that. WrongPlanet would kill Godaddy's shared server in a heartbeat which would not make any of their other customers happy and would mean you wouldn't be able to access WrongPlanet. |

They have dedicated servers and virtual dedicated servers.
Dedicated: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/dedicated.asp?app%5Fhdr=0&display=dedicated
Virtual Dedicated: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/virtual.asp?app%5Fhdr=0&display=virtual
I don't know how their pricing and what they have to offer in their package deals compares to the company you're presently using. How much bandwidth does WP use on average? Seems like I read that godaddy offers up to 2,000GB bandwidth for your own dedicated server.
I own a large Bipolar Disorder website and even as popular as it is, I'm pretty sure you have more unique and repeat hits at Wrong Planet than we do. So I don't have to worry about dedicated servers and all that. I really respect you for all the hard work you do here, Alex. You've put a lot of hard work into this website and it shows. |

Three years, 15,000 members and a dedicated Aspie tend to do that.
