This topic is once again being bumped. Due to high load on our servers through December and January, we are moving some of Hailing Frequency's files onto a CDN - thats a Content Delivery Network.
This will enable us to handle huge data spikes and traffic spikes to the website with ease, so we do not crash as we did the other day during the 1000 open beta key giveaway extravaganza.
In addition, we are also adding a new server to our cluser/rack to increase our available bandwidth and further enhance our ability to handle our growing community.
At the moment, all of this network expandature is being covered at a loss. Hailing Frequency is not-for-profit and the only money we make is via donations, and that money goes right back into Hailing Frequency.
In order to afford to keep our website online into the future, we require as many donations at the moment, as possible.
We have monthly targets, however, any extra donations will be saved and used on months where less people donate.
So if you can spare $1, $10, $20, $100, $200 - whatever you can spare, and if you have an interest in helping us out, then please do donate either at:
http://hailingfrequency.com/boards/index.php?action=treasuryOr directly to our paypal account which is "
donations@hailingfrequency.co.uk"
Thank you.
