I'll be using this blog to make announcements regarding the Duke Nukem Forever fan website, [URL="http://www.duke4.net"]Duke4.net[/URL].
Duke4.net - Donations
Duke4.net is in serious need of [B]donations[/B] in order to remain hosted if problems arise with our current host. While the Edge Network has been more than generous in serving the website so far, we've been experiencing some software related issues and occasional downtime. If the Edge Network asks us to move out, a dedicated server will run me [URL="https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/dedicated.asp?app%5Fhdr=&display=dedicated"][B]80 dollars a month[/B][/URL] and it'll have to come out of my own pocket, mainly due to the fact that our current ads are not bringing us revenue--they're only there because they're required by our host. As a college student, I will not be able to afford this without your help.
Your donation may also go towards fees associated with Duke4.net's:
- domain renewals.
- additional hosting/mirror servers.
- P.O. Box for mailing/address uses.
- software registration (e.g. content management systems).
