Brendan,

Would it be possible to get a rough estimate of the costs involved in running the site? We moved server recently to ensure a better quality service so that obviously is an expense.

This would be useful in light of Sueellen's banner requesting donations to help defray the running costs of Askaboutmoney.

(The link to make a donation, for those who may not be aware, is at the bottom of the page).

Hi Marion

The monthly cost of the new service is

Hosting £80
management £40
off site back up £9
Total £129
VAt £25.80
Total £154 sterling
Total in euro €180
Per annum - €2160

There are some other costs e.g. buying new software licenses or paying for one off work e.g. if we want to do a mobile version, so in total around €2,500 per year.

Hi Brendan,
do you mind if i ask,
what board software are you running askaboutmoney on?
 
Hi Gervan

Good point. I have updated the notice as follows:

If you don't like PayPal, or if you want to avoid having your donation reduced by commission, you can transfer money directly into the following account

my little bit is now in the pot :)

if all goes well and it goes over the amount required , where will the money go , any chance of an app ??
 
And at the risk of seeming very annoying, could you please post (or PM me) the IBAN and BIC codes for that account? Very happy to make a donation to keep AAM going as the excellent resource it is. If I hadn't found it I'm really not sure I would now be looking at my last few months of debt. It has been a very long journey but every journey has to start somewhere and there are few better places than here to do so.
