Site Financials Update July 2007

JCtheBuilder · 29th July 2007, 12:11 AM

I thought I would post some information about the UOGuide financial situation. Don't worry, everything is fine.

For the past year the site has been hosted for something like $1 a month. It was a promotional deal. That promotion has ended and it is now $10 a month. Over the past year, I would say the the hosting has been pretty good. UOGuide might not be the fastest site out there but pages are served in under 3 seconds. There have been minimal downtimes except for a couple rough spots, which happens on all hosts except the really high end (IE: really expensive).

Truth be told, I thought UOGuide would have outgrown our current host but that has not happened. So there are no plans to switch at this time. I will pay the $10 a month for the foreseeable future. When the Stygian Abyss comes around, I will try to recoup some costs through that. The goal is to keep UOGuide advertiser free, which has thus far been achieved.

I don't recall ever having lag on UOGuide. You've done a great job on it. I like how it is so easy to find info, and easy to understand.
