In addition to the above, a remote backup location is desirable to better ensure preservation of our files. At present, backups are being sent to Able2Know's backup locations. However, in the advent that multimedia storage on xFamily.org increases, additional backup resources will be needed.
 

Revision as of 00:40, 11 December 2005

xFamily.org collects and preserves information on the The Family cult. In order to make this information freely accessible, server and bandwidth costs are incurred.

Some of these costs are covered by the donation of hosting and server administration from Able2Know.com. However, in order to archive more documents and multimedia, xFamily.org requires additional resources of server space and bandwidth. Our goal is to comprehensively document "everything that is fit to print" about The Family.

If you would like to help us cover the costs of maintaining this website, please use the link below to donate through PayPal:

Where we Stand

We would like to maintain a buffer of 90 days 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.

xFamily.org currently uses a server that costs $159/month. We plan to move to another server with a similar configuration/cost but with a larger storage capacity.

Month Donations Server Bills Server Fund
October +$654.05 -$159 $495.05
November +$0 -$159 $336.05
December +$25 -$159 $177.05

Current Server Fund: $177.05*

  • 38-day buffer
