I've been meaning to do this for a few months to capture the changes from migration to OVHCloud. Things haven't really shifted a ton, (about... three fifty?) due to breaking the cold backup storage out into its own dedicated VPS and in the shift to OVH as a service provider. All amounts USD.

June 2025: Total $44.33
- Dedicated Server (OVHCloud): $33.00
- S3 (DigitalOcean): $5.00
- Backup Storage (Contabo): $5.50
- Domain (DreamHost): $0.83 ($10/yr)

If you have the means, a donation is always welcome. 100% of donations go back toward paying hosting expenses for zoner.work. Otherwise, funds come out of my pocket, which I'm happy to do given that having this benefits me as much as anyone else.

Figure I should be transparent about zoner's expenses. Things are good, and I've got a little support on ko-fi that covers about 30% of costs. I'm comfortable with the rest, but of course if you like what we do I won't say no to more. All costs USD. **November 2024** Dedicated Server - $31.59/mo Backup Storage - $3.40/mo S3 Media Storage - $5.00/mo Domain Registration - $0.83/mo ($10/yr) Total - $40.82 **How to contribute:** https://ko-fi.com/fencore https://liberapay.com/Fencore/

And as I did then, let me take a moment again to pop the things we're running on this dedicated server. As always, almost all services are publicly available, however will require admin approval (meaning reach out to me in some way) as a way to moderate signups and prevent spam.

And soon I'll be looking to make our jabber/xmpp server public too, just a few more things I want to tidy up before then.

Thank you to everyone who supports what we're doing here, through kind words, love, and other means. All of these projects are about providing safe spaces and community. It's through shared effort and participation that you all make them as good as they are, as diverse as they can be, and just fucking great places to be. Without you, there would be no point.
