Month Balance
Scary bill is scary with all the server move again (had to pay 2 servers)

Hosting bill 260USD
Ads 70USD (Project Wonderful) + 0 (jlist: commission fees)

From now on we are on a server that is 100USD. Specs are:
Dual Core 2,00Ghz
2Gb of RAM
100mbps dedicated

New software used lowered the server load from an average of 0.70 to an average of 0.05, which will solve any server move anytime soon.

Since explicit posts are now viewable we will be relying only on ads from now on. If somebody wants to donate just PM me here.

I'll be updating this thread every month now with this info
Moved to a new server recently.

New server specs:
Core2Duo 2.33Ghz
2Gb of RAM
100mbps dedicated.
Raid 0/1
Backup tools.

- Server costs about 135~150USD. (Since we had to do a server move bill was again twice as that, over 200USD)

+ Ads: 70USD (Project Wonderful) + Jlist in the end didn't give anything)

+ Donations 75USD
Thanks again for all the donations this month.
Core2Duo 2.33Ghz
4Gb of RAM
100mbps dedicated.
Raid 0/1
+ Backup Server

I'm working on a backup server now that the main server is about 50USD cheaper.

Total Balance is about ~160USD (108EUR) (It's different form different months because EUR-USD changes)

+ Donations 55USD
+ Ads 0 (Obvious?)

No more donations are required nor ads for now since I started a job.

Server bills for this 3 months have been successfully being paid with the paychecks I got from work.

Bills have raised to 230USD month. Due to end-of-season work ending soon maybe? and my bank being on the likely to crash list, I MIGHT probably be needing to resort to ads or donations in 1-2 months (not sure which with one I would go with)

In case of need of cash to pay the server bills I'll put a notification again, if not, no news are good news as it has been until now for the last 3 months.
Testing out some ads, and see if I can generate some emergency funds, like I used to have in the old days.

Everything is working right now, but is something were to fail, I wouldn't have an economic backup.

I think I placed the ads in a not annoying place, but I'm open to suggestions.
Ads removed, after fees, for 3 days of ads income is -2,3EUR. A pretty ugly deal I did there.

5.5USD revenue -> 3.70 EUR (today)
Check withdrawal fee 6EUR, 6 - 3,70 = 2,3EUR (negative)
Trying out some amazon ads. It's the most related non-intrusive thing I could find.

This is to pay the over-usage (10TB/month) the server will likely have to deal starting this month

Trying out Jlist (second time I use it) since amazon was a huge success (read failure) http://i43.tinypic.com/qn36zl.png.

I'll try to put the ads on the right side in a near future so they are less annoying probably.
New ads in trial for a week. Hopefully they will generate enough revenue to pay the server (almost) if they last long enough.
