image Site: Computer Cops Seeks Funding image
CastleCops
Our site has been online for approximately 1.5 years and we have just surpassed our 4,000 registered member mark. This month alone we have broken the 500,000 page hits barrier. Our services are being used more than ever and the server is starting to see performance hits.

We're in a position at CI Host to upgrade our current Dedicated 1 package from 100 GB per month bandwidth (256 MB memory) to 1000 GB per month bandwidth (384 MB memory). However, another year contract is required at the expense of $300 per month. So far the donations and premium membership have helped, but we're still in the red every month just maintaining the server.

The details on the packages can be found here:

CI Host

This brings the cost currently to $3600 per year. However, since this site seems to be gaining momentum very quickly now, I hope to step up to the Dedicated 2 plan that offers 512 MB memory and doubles the hard drive space for files and database storage. This now comes to $500 per month at a cost of $6000 for the new contract year.

I'm seeking angels to help offset the cost up front such that I can continue running this site and evolve it as I've been doing from the start.

Currently the server also hosts NukeCops.com which is another venture of mine to support and develop for the PHP-Nuke CMS community that also attracts lots of attention. Google ranks Nuke Cops a 6, while Computer Cops currently rates a 5. Yet this site obtains near 30,000 hits daily recently.

Another plan of mine is to mirror PacketStorm security while continuing as an official support forum for Firetrust and Proxomitron. That's where the 1,000 GB bandwidth comes in focus.

Please contact me via this site using Private Messaging to "Paul". I would love to upgrade immediately.

My personal thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of my vision for the site. To everyone who has participated in the forums, helped to maintain and grow the site, and sent donations and/or premium membership, you are the fabric of this site and the reason why I find it so enjoyable.

Thanks
