I regularly get asked how people can support Quaddicted monetarily. While we used fund raising to cover server costs in the past to great success, I refrained from that when my job situation made it easy for myself to handle.
But you are welcome to stand up for patronage for other Quake community sites that ended up in my sorry responsibility:
[list=*] ]https://quakewiki.org costs ~60€ per year for the server and the domain, including backups and snapshots/] ]https://www.insideqc.com costs ~70€ per year for the server and the domain, including backups and snapshots/] ]https://www.quakeexpo.com costs ~11€ per year for the domain, the storage is hosted on the Quaddicted server/]
[/list]
If you would like to take over those costs for a year, please just shout, here or mail me at spirit at this domain. Can’t promise any public praise but I guess one could add a notice about who’s currently sponsoring the costs on the homepages.
The greatest support is of course not money but actively using those sites, improving them, collaborating in our hobby Especially finally building a Quake Expo archive would be such a great project.
The hosting provider raised their prices ~10% in January 2023. On the other hand, I seem to have miscalculated the costs to a minor degree last time so overall the costs dropped. I am not sure what happened there, maybe the new numbers are wrong instead
Current costs are:
https://quakewiki.org costs ~51€ per year for the server and the domain, including backups and snapshots
https://www.insideqc.com costs ~65€ per year for the server and the domain, including backups and snapshots
https://www.quakeexpo.com costs ~12€ per year for the domain, the storage is hosted on the Quaddicted server
https://www.quakewiki.net costs ~66€ per year for the server and the domain, including backups and snapshots
