<p>Here are the things we need to pay for in order for ~vern to be up and healthy</p>

<li>USD 6.5/mo VPS in Beauhornois, Quebec (OVHCloud)</li>
<li>USD 5/mo VPS in Newark, New Jersey (Linode)</li>

</ul>

<p>Electricity for the local server is hard to measure. Hence isn't counted</p>

<div class=h><h3 id=why-godaddy>Why GoDaddy?</h3> <a aria-hidden=true href=#why-godaddy>#why-godaddy</a></div>

<p>Our original domain was registered on GoDaddy long before we planned on doing anything public-facing like ~vern.</p>
<p>Transfer is not currently possible for us since GoDaddy policy requires whois protection to be turned off before transfer.</p>
<p>The amount of sensitive information leaked is not be worth it and if we input fake whois info there is a good change the domain would get suspended</p>
<p>Hence, for the time being, vern.cc will be on GoDaddy.</p>
<p>This also comes with the issue of also not being able to add DS records for valid DNSSEC.</p>

<div class=h><h3 id=excess>How excess money is used</h3> <a aria-hidden=true href=#excess>#excess</a></div>
2022-11-02 09:02:10 +00:00
<p>Any excess money we get (more than $12.75/mo) will be distributed among the admins.</p>
<p>Information about distribution of the money will be provided in a monthly financial report (starting from November 2022).</p>
