NixNet

NixNet.xyz is a network of websites and services hosted by the pseudonymous Amolith (me). The main reason I'm hosting these sites is because I like to be in control of my own data where feasible. The easiest way to accomplish this is to host the services I use. I make them public and and maintain them simply because I want to. The Linux and FLOSS community has completely changed my life and I feel like this is a small way I can do my part and give back.

Finance

At the moment, all the sites I host are running on netcup GmbH's 500 G8 VPS. I pay $6.10/mo in lump sums of $36.60 every six months. The domain nixnet.xyz is registered with gandi.net and it renews at $13.63/yr. I use Gandi because they have WHOIS privacy by default, every domain comes with two inboxes and unlimited aliases for both. One is amolith@nixnet.xyz and the other uses my real name rather than my pseudonym.

I only accept donations on Liberapay (so far) and how much I make from it is below. All of the money will go back to this site and the services I host, whether that means renewing the domain, upgrading the VPS, or some other cost. I won't keep any of it for myself.
