NSXCB Finances and web server costs

[forumadmin]

Hello everyone,

I want to let you all know, that this forum site relies on contributions to pay for the web hosting. It's run non profit, all the contribution money goes into the hosting costs. In the past there was more contributions coming in each year, than the annual costs. However, for the past few years, practically nothing has been coming in contributions, and so the savings have been used to pay the costs. We are in a situation where there are a few months left in the account, to pay for the hosting.

I don't own an NSX anymore. Haven't done so since 2009. It matters to me not one bit, if this site continues to operate or not. When the finances have run out, the site will close.

Regards,
Forumadmin

Hi Forumadmin, hope Switzerland is treating you well, a few of us drove back through Switzerland on Friday after we had been in Imola. I think some of the locals might of found our exhausts a bit annoying.
Main question is how much does it cost to host this website per month or per year.
Is it possible to move it to another host with out losing all the data, as there is so much information on this website//forum.
Regards
Paul

The site costs $55 per month. There is basic hosting plus backup service. The costs do seem to have gone up over the years.

This year so far there has been $110 in contributions, last year there was $160 in total. There is $240 on the account.

The site can be moved somewhere else, but it still needs paying for. I actually would not mind at all, if someone else were to host it, and I can transfer the site, and database to someone else to run, as I have no interest in doing so anymore.
