just a reminder,
keeping this web site up and running is not free!:rolleyes:

I greatly appreciate the few members that have made the financial effort to help keep the web site up and running,
but they are a very small very much appreciated minority:D
I just paid this years web sites hosting, maintaining the domain name renewal and other data back-up, storage and security etc, fees

that came to almost $479 thats the big annual hit,
but there are other monthly expenses

so if you appreciate the websites posted reference info,
and use this web site as a reference site,
you value and want to keep it available for easy use by the many experienced and helpful member's to access,
I could really use some financial help :praying:
if a few guys and gals could donate a few extra dollars.

we have NEVER broken even financially on an annual basis.:(
I really never expected the web site to make any money,

the major reason it exists is to hopefully,
allow older more experienced and skilled members to help,
and allow new members to avoid, the decades Of frustration I went and other members went through,

and post info and knowledge and experience gained by several dozen other older experienced members,
thus helping the newer members with learning what works,
and what was a waste of time effort and help everyone avoid wasting wheelbarrows of wasted cash,
and weeks of work wasted, as many of you eventually find out,
asking questions here on this web site and reading links,
before you start purchasing parts and assembling miss-matched combos,
and point out the critical machine work required,
and what to pay for machine work and how to verify it's been done correctly.
and what tools are required and how to use them correctly,
tends to greatly reduce the wasted time and cash spent.

My own website only cost me the following:

$179 - Hosting Plan (4GB of RAM | 75GB of Storage | 4TB of Bandwidth | 3 Dedicated IPs)
$13.00 - HTTPS
$18.00 - Domain Registration
$3.00 - Domain Security

That's a total of $213 for the year

And if you need additional storage beyond 75GB, you can purchase it.

I know moving a site can be painful, I have done it three times myself but I have also been successful with it each time. I have been with my current hosting service going on 3 years now and I wish I had started out with them. Excellent support, not a minute of downtime and incredible resources. And no, while I could I am not an affiliate seller for them. They offer a great service at a decent price.
