Hey Jimi,
I got this e-mail from you. I'm guessing you sent it out to everyone who signed up for your newsletter.

How is everybody. I must send you this email. We have a problem with our website. There is too much traffic and the host is telling me I need to purchase a dedicated server. All the costs are 500 $ per month.
So we need donations. Or our site badbreathhalitosis.com will be shut down. I don't have enough money to support the costs. I will have to shut it down.
There are 1500 subscribers, if only 500 would donate 1 $ every month, we could save the site. Please let me know.
Click the donate link on the left top side of the site.
Thank you so much

I'm just confused because the cost keeps jumping around. Above you said $500. At the beginning of this thread you said $300. Then you said 250 euro later in this thread. Then you said 200 euro later on in this thread. Now it's back to 250 euros. Could you please tell us exactly how much it will cost for the dedicated server?
Also, I found a lot of web hosting companies online just by doing a google search, and all of them offer dedicated servers for a lot less than what your web hosting provider is quoting you. Maybe you should check some of these companies out.....

We collected 130 Eur this month, really good. But the good news is that we have a new official sponsor Therabreath and they will support our costs for now. So be good to them because they saved our site.
Yes there are not only costs regarding server, I also hired a programer to fix the site few times and he charges 25 $ per hour.
So please understand.
We got sponsor. In the past I have spend a lot of money on this site, before I still had a decent job, and I saved a lot of money. But I can not fight this war anymore, we need sponsors urgently. And Therabreath is our saviour.
The site has many people. If everybody would donate only 50 cents per month we could do it, all the costs would be covered.
I mean this is the biggest bad breath site in the world, nowhere else there is so much user experiece articles as on this site, we have 24481 articles.
The database is so huge the host declined to make automatic backups.

Some people donated 10 eur, 20 eur, only 3 people donated 1 eur, I mean we should maybe do a subscription service like $6 per year maybe. THat is really cheal I think and we could save our site this way.
But not many people are prepared to donate.
We collected around 100 Eur for January only. |

| I don't understand what host you're using. I get around 2,000 unique hits on my web site per day and I host videos on it sometimes and I use bluehost and it only costs me like 10 dollars a month. |

Hi Jimi, why don't switch over to an other hostingprovider for a much better price? I use one for about 30 euro a year.
3GB webspace and 60 GB traffic/month (including DB and php) |

Please people support Therabreath, if you buy therabreath do it from our site, so they see it is worthwile to be the official sponsor, otherwise they might just stop sponsor our site and I will have to shut it down.
Please visit their site and buy from clicking on top banner on our site so we get commision. Otherwise they will stop advertising on this site.
I know many of you are using Threrabreath, some are not so if you are using it, buy it from our site please.
Thank you |
