Better hosting

[Hyphern]

i think this site needs better hosting, its either really laggy or down a lot of the time, and i kno its not me because i have 786 kb/s cable

Better Hosting=More money, I believe. You donate over $1000, and maybe they'll get better hosting! How does that sound?! (Joke). Don't take offense at this. But you can see the problem...

I definitely agree Sythe needs better hosting. However, as tubba said, it would cost a lot of revenue. It might be something to look forward to in the future, though.

The hosting is fine. The problem is, that we are getting DDoS'd.

Yep...... 300 bucks a month for hosting already....... unless someone wants to buy Sythe a fucking $5000 firewall we will have to deal. Plus the site goes down randomly due to some glitches..... :/

 

yeah i recently found out how much a site costs to run and damnn its not cheap

Maybe we should follow RSBot's idea, Donate and get VIP (access to scripts that sythe mods could make or something?)

Scripts for what? Sythe is not based on a scriptable bot...

 

I want to keep sythe.org's hosting expenses within the mean limit of its revenue. If I upgrade to more expensive hardware (which will be around $1000 per month probably) then I need the site to bring in at least $1000 a month in order to break-even. If it is unlikely to make this much on average then there is no way to upgrade.

Of course servers are always getting faster and cheaper, so the alternative is to just wait until 8 core servers are priced low enough.

Ye i agree, sythe needs better hosting, sometimes its really laggy.

I'm sure in time better servers will be cheaper. Although "Sythe" maybe you should introduce a monthly donation wanting, such as Rsbot, and provide the donators with VIP, which could include a special VIP section.

I think the hosting is fine. He's trying to say that, we should make it so that if you donate you could have access to something special, such as a shared RapidShare account, idk.
