Because the Lindy Alert is for the LLHOA community, I don't see why it can't be hosted with the LLHOA server. Instead of me paying out of pocket for a separate server. Other possibilities are being considered.
Currently, I am paying for the design and upkeep of the Lindy alert site. I use my domain's URL (7thHeaven.cloud) to host the Lindy Alert. This could be changed to any URL. 7tHeaven.cloud website is used to get the word out about "The Lindy Alert".
I design and maintain LIndy Alert as community service. Also, I'm a Volunteer firefighter for Swan Valley Emergency Services and donate my time and personal resources.
These are my out-of-pocket expenses. This does not include charges paid to DialMyCalls Alert service.
GoDaddy charges:
Ultimate Linux Hosting with C Panel renewal $108.00/year
Website Backup 25Gbyte: $17.88 / year
Website Security Advanced $71.88/year
Managed SSL Certificate will come with Ultimate Linux Hosting.
Also I get server support 24/7 which I find helpful if and when problems arise.
In total I pay at least $198.00/year to host 7thHeaven.cloud
It would be nice to have some of this $$$ reimbursed through donations.
The $5.00 donation is so there is money banked with DialMyCalls service. If there is not enough money banked in the DMC account, the Alert will not be sent.
