| |
| Encyclopedia Dramatica is an independent non-profit website based in Sweden. All donations go towards one or both of two things:
| |
| | |
| 1. '''Keeping ED online:''' Believe it or not there are people who don't like ED and would like nothing more than to see it off the Internet forever. They do things like write to our hosts and advertisers asking them to discontinue doing business with us. Sometimes this works, and sometimes we lose a lot of money that we were counting on to pay for ED.
| |
| | |
| 2. '''Improving ED:''' Whether some people like it or not, ED is a very popular site. It serves between one and three million pages per day. As popularity grows it is necessary to add more servers and bandwidth to keep the site from choking. We regularly add and upgrade hardware, software, firmware,

| ====But-but-but-but I have a [[Dreamhost]] account and I know for a fact that this site can't cost more than $10 a year!!!:====

| Ok this is the stupidest shit [[you|someone]] could possibly say, and [[ignorant|you might not know it]] but when someone says something like this it makes them sound like a complete fucking [[n00b|idiot]] who knows nothing about [[Internets|computers]]. We have to mention it here though because we hear it a lot. ED cannot survive on shared hosting. Even if it could handle the traffic, which it can't, we violate the [[Rules of the Internet|TOS]] of 99% of the Internet's hosting providers, and the remaining [[OWS|1%]] are not cheap. That and the fact that ED runs on at least 2 dedicated servers, 5 smaller virtual servers and [[7 proxies|7 reverse proxies]] scattered throughout the globe at any given point in time makes shared/cheap-as-fuck hosting not an option. We need real servers, with real memory, real processing power, and real diskspace, all of which costs [http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers real money]. Only the best for ED/our users.
