Underlight Server Replacement Fund
Donation protected
Hello folks!
It has been 4 years since the re-release of Underlight and I cannot believe we made it this far! Believe it or not, we are still running on the same donated two hosts that we originally started with in beta! It is time to upgrade and down-size the foot print at the same time. The issue now is our hardware is old, power hungry and beginning to reach the failure years. To keep Underlight going and keep it free, we are looking to the Underlight community's assistance to raise enough money to purchase a new server. There are three points that come from the host replacement. As you know, we are allotted co-lo space (and Internet) for free via Kinetic IT Solutions. Upgrading will free up more space in their server racks to sell to their customers, and in the process, we upgrade the server to newer hardware. Moreover, it is a win-win-win for the Underlight community, Kinetic IT, and KoiWare to keep Underlight running well into the future.
If you can help out, please take the time to donate to the server replacement fund. Without you all, this wouldn't be possible.
Any funding not used or money raised past $1200.00 will be sent to Brent Phillips, the owner of Underlight.
