Utopia is offline

Hello everybody,

as you've probably seen already, Utopia is currently offline.
This entry shall explain why.

Yesterday when I got home I had received an e-mail from my host. Here's an extract of that e-mail:

Is the 19.99 monthly or one time? If you have paypal or something I'd love to help you out if needed.

It's monthly. Really? You're willing to help out? I'd love you forever if you are.
I have PayPal. Shall I send you my PayPal account by PM?

I can help out a little bit as well.

Have you thought about a donate button on the site with a little gauge of how much you need? I know a lot of successful scanlation related sites do that.

Also, don't limit to just paypall, google checkout is good as well (I'm just not sure how it is set up).

Really? ~~~<3
I already have a donate button on the site. Google Checkout? I think this is the first time I'm hearing that name.
However, since my host only accepts credit cards and PayPal, there is no reason for me to sign up for Google Checkout.

u_ù $19.99 per month is a lot of money! O_O this host server is too expensive! i would like help you too but now i can't i'm out of money ç_ç... but i can suggest you a good hosting service http://www.aruba.it gives unlimited space for €24 per year.

The 24€ belong to a shared hosting account, right?
You see, $19.99 is expensive, you're right, but the site can't stay on a shared hosting account.
In fact, the site you suggested would charge 49€ per month for the same service I have now.

The problem is the site got suspended because it took to much RAM of the amount that is shared between all users. This way it won't be a good idea to just change to another shared hosting account.

The way it is now, Utopia won't have to share anything with other members.
