Just FYI, if you like using the instance and have some spare money, I'd appreciate if you donated to the instance. You can see a detailed breakdown of my costs and donations on the donations page.

If you don't have the extra money (or don't want to spend them here), it's fine as well, the instance is not going down and I can fund it, but if you can help cover a part of the current negative balance of ~466 USD, I'll be very grateful!

Edit: This post will stay pinned for a few days so more people notice, afterwards I'll unpin it.

Just sent you a small but recurring donation, thanks for running this instance!

Hey, on the cost part, I’ve noticed that you’ve spent quite some money on the domain, I assume with some Czech provider (since the transaction amount is in CZK). What I can suggest you is comparing the prices with different providers as 40€ seems to be a lot for a .world domain. I can recommend this website for comparing different providers: https://tld-list.com/tld/world

Also, not sure what you use for hosting, but DeluxHost has some good VPS offers if you require no more than 5 TB/month in bandwidth (I have no clue what Lemmy hosting uses). Example: €15/year (not month) (full list) for 2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSDs, 1xIPv4 + 1x /64 IPv6 and 10Gbit speed, hosted in the Netherlands. I host myself another service with them, so I can share benchmarks or whatever you need (and vouch that the uptime is perfect so far, except for the scheduled maintenances), if interested, but if you go this route - just want to note that do have a good backup system in place in case they go down one day, as it often happens with smaller providers.
