Downtime....?!

You may have noticed several times in the last few weeks that accyweb has been unavailable. This is due to the server being unable to cope with the popularity of the websites it contains. I have done quite a few 'tweaks' but I really need more memory for the database server, only problem is there are no spare slots in the motherboard and we are already maxed out for this server. I am looking into a new server right now, the costs are going to be double what I'm paying now, but it should at least do us for another couple of years.
So, right now if anyone can spare any dosh then please consider donating to accyweb to help cover costs of the new server, I've added a new donate button to the menu above which gives you a number of ways to donate via paypal. Donaters receive the Accy Supporter image under your username in posts and are able to edit the user title which is shown under your name on every post.

Anyway, if you've got this far, thanks for considering a donation,
just for your info this is the price for the new server $454/month + $350 setup fee, so it isn't cheap running busy websites!!

I have donated now......I have tried to in the recent past and I must have been doing something wrong because it wouldn't let me.
I get a lot of pleasure from the site so I feel that it is only fair that I make a contribution.
Keep up the good work Roy.....it is very much appreciated.

Come on all you that sell stuff on here can spare a bit for the new server .
please donate to keep this a great site going.
it really costs a fortune to keep a big site like this going.
Roy is working hard and i have donated .
it really takes money to keep a site like this running smoothly
so please if you do not have access to pay pal get in touch with me and i will forward your donation on when Roy gets back
It really does not matter how much you want to donate every little bit helps so come on there are over 11,000 members registered
if all members donate £1 then just think what Roy could do with the site

PS if you win the euro lottery remember Roy takes euros too

Just had a thought - how about having a virtual car boot sale on here and donating the proceeds to AccyWeb?

Happy to help Roy, do you do monthly standing orders/direct debit, could do a couple of quid per month (not much I know but it may help).

PM me if you like.

Redash · 08-02-2008, 21:31

Signed up to do a monthly direct debit. (I didn't know you had to pay so much Roy, I presumed you did it from home.) Hope you get enough people to join in.
