HRWiki talk:2007 Spring Fundraising Drive

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Might I suggest getting a tremendously cheaper account with DreamHost instead? You don't need a lot to run a wiki. Not a lot at all... -- Someguyerson

Actually we use a lot of bandwidth. The SBEMAIL page just by itself has been accessed 1,241,528 times. We had to go to a dedicated server a year or so ago to handle all the load. I R F 05:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmmmmm. About how many gigs of bandwidth? If that's not too personal a question! -- Someguyerson

And that discussion is nearly two years old. Our usage has far surpassed what we were doing then. Hundreds of gigabytes. This is a popular site. As they say, you get what you pay for, thus we pay a lot so that each user's experience here is as hassle-free as possible (which, besides legal reasons, is why we don't have ads or anything like that). — It's dot com 05:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikia

Just a reminder - the offer of free hosting from Wikia is still open. It would mean ads, but if you look at Uncyclopedia, you'll see they are quite discrete. I've always liked the way this community is run and I would love you to welcome you all to Wikia if you ever find the hosting costs get too much. Angela 05:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
