Help Support Maidenfans

Posted by Real World on February 8, 2003 @ 20:36

In a month or so our server is up for renewal and at the moment we are struggling with cash to keep the site online. While we're not expecting to drop off the face of the planet completely, we are expecting the website to be possibly offline for up to a few weeks. Nobody wants this website to be offline even for a few days but at the moment it may be unavoidable. If anyone reading this website or the Iron Maiden Commentary or who uses the forum feels that they can afford to make a small donation to the website then please do so with the link on the left. All of our staff here work for free to help the Iron Maiden community by keeping it up to date and providing a wealth of Iron Maiden facts and trivia. While we dont expect any of you to give something back we do ask you to consider it only if you can afford it. We are all aware that there are far more worthy charities out there than us but if you feel we are worth supporting then please help keep us online. We aim to keep all donators email addresses on record so we can thank them somehow and hopefully some time down the line when our future is a little safer, perhaps run competitions or special features. Thankyou for reading.

how much do you pay for your hosting now?

If its more than $10/month, have a look at www.phpwebhosting.com

100mb space (more if needed), no data limits, php and mysql, and more.
I host a few sites there too.

I dont think its much more than $10 a month but i think theres a deal where we have to pay for 6 month/ year at once or something

Fuck! That' dissapointing! This site is going down! I only just discovered it today!!!!

I wish I had some spare cash but I don't! Sorry!

I will register someday! Ok. ... But if it is only down for a week... who cares! It's only one week!

Fortunately the site didnt go down for the week. Although I think we may have been charged for the excess bandwidth
Still looking at other hosts. Think we'll be ok though. Not had many donations but the ones we have had have been really generous.

Same here.

And I don't dare to ask my father to donate with his credit-card!
