March 2023 payments.

#1

Post by Gordon »

I paid the monthly and quarterly payments to the TSS hosting service.

From the last donations we received, we had a total of $211.63 in reserves. Our bill was for $259.85 (USD) so I chipped in the balance to make the payment.

We are billed as follows:

Invoice 157582-0038 -- $259.85 due.jpg


We pay $20.00 per month for having our host back up the forum on their servers (done daily) in addition to the quarterly payment of $239.85 (USD) for hosting.

In addition, I will take care of the Domain name registration of $9.77 per year.

So right now we have $0.00 in the fund. I will be opening the Donations button later this month.

If you have questions you can send me a personal message.

Thanks again!

Gordon
