− | ===Where we Stand===
| |
− | xFamily.org uses a dedicated server that costs $121/month as well as other services (including [http://aws.amazon.com/ Amazon Web Services]) which have variable costs based on the resources (such as data storage and transfer) used. As of January 2009, the average monthly cost of hosting xFamily.org is projected to be about $210 USD.
| |
− | However, this amount could increase significantly depending on the number of visitors to our site and the amount of bandwidth and other resources consumed.
| |
− | We would like to maintain a buffer of 6 months worth of hosting costs. This allows us to contract the services we need with a small buffer of funds to ensure that the services can be paid for and that we can maintain this website online.
