|
|
<p>Here are the things we need to pay for in order for ~vern to be up and healthy</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>USD 4.5/mo Mythos</li>
|
|
<li>USD 5/mo Iceberg</li>
|
|
<li>USD 27.3/mo Typhoon</li>
|
|
<li>USD 15/yr (1.25 USD monthly) for vern.cc domain (GoDaddy)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Electricity costs for the local servers 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 chance 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>
|
|
<p>Any excess money we get (more than $38.05/mo) will be distributed among the admins.</p>
|
|
<p>Information about the usage of these donations can be found in the <a href=/finreport>monthly financial report</a>.</p>
