2023 GlobalMaritimeHistory Website Costs

Donation protected
Hello!

For the first time, we're asking for help with the website's costs.

Since 2018, I have been paying the costs (Dreamhost for Hosting, Godaddy for domain name) and the costs are rising.

In 2019 and 2020 I paid $119.40 (USD) for hosting, and in 2020 and 2021 I paid $155.88 (USD) for hosting. In Canadian Dollars, this is much more- my last one was over $220 CAD. In addition, the most recent bill from GoDaddy was $46.57 for Domain Name services and Domain Privacy and Protection.

I have set the goal for $300 as I believe this will be the approximate cost for hosting in 2023.

If excess funds are raised, they will be used for the following three possibilities, as appropriate
1) Used to create a prize for an essay "competition" on the website.
2) Used to pay for better hosting (faster hosting, really)
3) Used to pay a professional web developer to improve the code on the website, particularly for the ADM 8 Database project.

Any help is very very much appreciated in keeping this project going moving forward.

All donors will be prolifically and publicly thanked (unless they prefer to be volubly and privately thanked instead).
