How much does it cost hosting whole server, forum, website etc.

[NanoTech 4]

Title says it all. I'm curious about it, if it is okay.

We have the domains, site hosting, SSL certs, gameservers, forum software etc.  

All are costs of keeping this going. 

Suffice it to say it is not free and currently with the shortage in donations it's been on me for the most part.

Just got the email.

I'm not able to donate money. I have access to a really beefy server from my employer (and permission to use it for whatever I want), though..

If you shouldn't be able to reach your goal, I can help you out with hosting.

It's just annoying that NOLF is in such a bad state rights wise. This forum is basically the only thing keeping NOLF alive, even if I don't come here often. If only the people involved could hash it out so I can finally get a digital copy of these games on GOG somewhere.

Hello all, I have an interest in helping for sure. What I offer is a free webspace for you guys. I currently run Planetlith.com and am a developer on the Aliens Vs. Predator 2 Master Server Patch. My goal is to keep all of the Lithtech information and games online. Please give me a shout if this interests you.

 

I know the site isn't a whole lot, I've been super busy lately (making a new map to ship with our new patch for Aliens Vs. Predator2) This is genuine, make no mistake.

Very generous offer. We however met our goal for the hosting campaign this morning. So we're renewed now for another year.

Good to hear! Now if only we could crowdfund a group of lawyers to go sort out the rights issue so we can finally buy these games on GOG.
