As many of you may know, the PSUPedia has had some hosting problems in the past, and has recently moved to a much more stable server. Until now, hosting for the wiki has been graciously provided by DreamXG, but with increased stability comes increased costs. It had been decided long ago never to allow advertising on the wiki, so we are now accepting donations to offset the increased cost of the server.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to donate?

While no one should feel obligated to donate, we would encourage users who appreciate the resources the wiki provides to consider making a small contribution.

How much should I donate?

This is entirely up to you. The operating cost of the server is roughly $50 USD per month, so even a small donation will go a long way.

What do I get for donating?

The feeling of knowing that you helped keep the site operational. If the donation is done correctly, you should experience a slightly warm feeling inside. This is a perfectly normal reaction.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

No.

How can I donate?

You can donate via PayPal by clicking here. Only $50 a month is required to keep the wiki's hosting alive, so please consider making a small contribution.

OK, I donated.

Thanks. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Donations vs. cost (2011)
Donations vs. cost (2010)

Thanks to essen kindly providing temporary hosting for the PSUPedia until a more permanent server move could be made, all donations received since collection began in December 2009 were moved forward to reflect on our server transfer which occurred in early February 2010. Similarly, all donations received which exceed the current month's cost are moved ahead to the next month. Thanks again to everyone!
