Hey guys i might set up a server box for myself and others to run of it. Basically this box is going to cost a couple of hundred dollars. As i dont have the money at the moment,
this is a suggestion I might be getting help to get up and running a forum/website do u reckon people would be generous to donate to me to able to afford the server box then when i get the server up and my own server give people DONOR or VIP depends on donations OR maybe let the run FREE on my server box depends on amout again?
Suggestion what's you idea OR would u do this to help someone out.

All ideas are good to hear and creative, but if someone were to apply themselves and donate to this, feeling it is a good investment, are you going to be setting it up so other people can host off of you? If so, then please, answer these questions:

What would the internet speed be?

Do you know how FTP works?

Do you know how to set up a VPS for the FTP to be hosted off of?

How would payment plans go about?

Yes i would have it to be hosted off. Im roughly answering question because i know 2 people that are incredibley smart, they run there own/servers not just servers but run their own server box. Im not rushing into this i know the risk if i make mistakes, i will be getting lessons and get taught if their any info u want to share feel free
