150,- dollars a month is overpriced. for 1/2 price you'll have a AMD Phenom2 X6 1090T 3.2 Ghz Black Edition

Renguard is not important anymore and websites shouldn't use that much load.

edit: also tbh, i wouldn't ever consider donating anyone who does anything else besides community stuff. So if people would donate you, they actually sponsor your private stuff aswell.


$150 a month pays for more than just a good server. It pays for an amazing data center with excellent reliability, fast response to tickets, and effective communication about even the remote possibility of downtime. When you see what you get for a "cheap" server, where they just change your IP without telling you, have lots of downtime, and don't answer OUTAGE support tickets for 48 hours or more, I don't want cheap servers anymore. They're not worth it.

I don't care if you or anyone chooses not to donate for the server. If you have a moral objection to helping me pay for something we all use and enjoy, that's your choice. I wasn't asking for donations to run the server. I make more than enough money to pay for it myself, and I'm willing to do so. Some people wanted to donate, and I provided the information for them to do so. I greatly, greatly appreciate them, not because I would have had to shut the site down without them, but because it lets me know that my efforts are appreciated by those people enough for them to go out of their way to show it.

BlackIntel has always paid less than 100 euros, and only one time we had complaints about our hosting. That one time was a calculated risk we took, due to expenses at the time. We paid about 45 euros while we would've had to pay 65 or more if we went with a decent host.
Now we have a nice Dell PowerEdge R210 in colocation and pay 40 euros a month. We're hosted in a Leaseweb datacenter and never had any issues really. If you look at their client list you'll see that they're not exactly a cheap or small ISP. Hell, their statistics state that their network has had an uptime of 99,999%.
Either way, I think that you're paying too much for the new server and you paid too little for your current server. Surely there would've been a "in between" solution, both money and performance wise.
