Sonic 296 Posted May 31, 2011 Its getting close to renewing our domain name. In the past our loyal fans, supporters, staff and friends around the C&C Community have helped to contribute to this cost. So we are once again asking for your help. This name is our identity, its something we have had since the year 2000. So it is a vital part of our site. CNCNZ.com is 100% non-profit, and we never ask for anything in return but we appreciate all donations. So if you can help us and contribute to our domain renewal fund it would really help us out. You can support CNCNZ.com buy donating any amount of money you wish using PayPal. Making payments with PayPal is fast, free and most importantly it's secure! The renewal costs are as follows. The amount of donations we receive will determine how many years we renew the domain for.... $34.99 USD for 1 year $65.98 USD for 2 years $86.97 USD for 3 years $114.95 USD for 5 years To make a donation just click the image below and follow the on screen instructions. Anyone who donates will be added to our Donators List found here http://www.cncnz.com/site/donate/. Please do not feel obligated to donate, and please don't think of it as a contest to see who can donate more. If your donation $5 or $50 it always welcomed! Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 40 Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Does that cost already include taxes and other fees such as hosting? So what host website controls CNCNZ and this forum (which is using IPB)? The lowest price to pay for a domain for a year only costs around $8.99 a year (with no other fees applied) in 1&1. I would really love to donate and support this website and this forum, but since I feel disgraced and humbled for the week, I pass. Edited May 31, 2011 by zocom7 Share this post Link to post

Sonic 296 Posted May 31, 2011 Does that cost already include taxes and other fees such as hosting? So what host website controls CNCNZ and this forum (which is using IPB)? While I will not go into detail about what costs what around here I will say they are all seperate. This is just to renew the domain name for another 1 or 2 years. The lowest price to pay for a domain for a year only costs around $8.99 a year (with no other fees applied) in 1&1. I'm fully aware there are cheaper domains out there. The domain was registered with Network Solutions way back in 2000 and that where it has been ever since. I don't actually own the domain, an old friend of mine does. I'm just a Technical Contact with access to update its DNS info and of course pay for it. How long do we have, Sonic? The domain expires on 10/07/2011, so just over a month from now. Full domain info here http://whois.domaintools.com/cncnz.com and there also info on the other I have http://whois.domaintools.com/cnc365.com Share this post Link to post

PurpleGaga27 40 Posted June 23, 2011 First of all, yay! Second, if there was a way to get over $150 USD donation (if mentioned through the entire CNC community), maybe you could consider renewing it for five years because it was the cheapest deal. Share this post Link to post
