Fundraiser Complete!

[Krydos]

A huge thank you goes out to the 66 generous donors who have helped us complete our latest fundraiser in record time. Based on previous fundraisers we expected it to take about 6 months to raise the $2500 to buy a new server, but we have already reached our goal in exactly 1 month. If you're a donor and haven't received your thank you gifts yet, please let us know so we can get that set up for you.

Now that we have raised the funds that we asked for, we will use the money to buy a new server with 192 GB memory, 40 CPU cores, and 10.5 TB of hard drive space named Stevie. Since we're a small non-profit run by volunteers it will take at least a few months to get everything set up, but we'll make an announcement when we're ready for the Java beta testers to start helping out testing the new server.

We're also really excited to be able to increase the amount of free hosting space that we have. Johnny continues to fill in less than a second at both noon and midnight most days even though we've increased the number of available free accounts granted each day by quite a bit. This fundraiser should be able to nearly double the amount of free hosting space that we have.

We'll make more announcements as the hardware gets installed, and the new server gets set up. Keep an eye out for the latest HelioHost news.
