Over the last month, I’ve had too many site outages due to not having enough server. That has culminated with three consecutive days of some level of outage, starting with Tuesday, National Signing Day, and then yesterday. We’ll see if that streak continues today, but hopefully not.
Anyway, I added Cloudflare a few weeks ago, which has helped with site speed. But the server can still get overloaded. Therefore, I am moving the site to a new hosting service: Flywheel. I talked to some people, got advice from some readers, etc., and I think Flywheel suits my needs best. The trouble is that it costs a significant chunk more than my current hosting service. The package I’m purchasing costs $75/month, so I’m going to try to raise one year’s worth of hosting.
That means I’m looking to raise $900. When I constructed the new site in 2015, I used Paypal with some success. So if you would like to donate to the site, please use the Paypal button on the right sidebar or you can click below:

Is there a way we can donate a certain amount directly through Amazon? Wikipedia has that option when donating there and it was very easy.

If this is true it would be convenient for me also. I spend a lot of time on TTB and wouldn’t mind slipping the site some of my gift card bucks. Wife already has Make A Wish set up as our charity go to.

There is a way to do so through Amazon, but Wikipedia is a bigger business than I am. It requires a secure server and such that is a little bit beyond what I have. Basically, I’d have to pay for some site improvements in order to take donations for site improvements in order to pay for site improvements.
Paypal is very simple if you haven’t used it before. All you really need is an e-mail address and a credit card.

Haha! Neither. I took a prop bet for the Under at 64.5. i lay 220 to win 100. I also bet that Isaiah Thomas will have more assists than Julio Jones has receptions. That one pays me 140 for every 100…

That’s the fun kind of betting. I like the Julio Jones vs. Isiah Thomas bet.

Just made a donation matching the name of my first born
Will the new site be compatible with the Tapatalk app? It’s pretty easy to follow blogs, without ever missing a post
Best of luck, and GO BLUE!

I’ve looked at the Tapatalk app. I think it’s something that I can incorporate in the future. Right now I’m trying to take things one step at a time, so the server thing is my #1 priority. But yeah, the Tapatalk thing seems like it would be a good idea in the not-too-distant future.
Thanks for the donation!

You guys are awesome. I posted this at 11:19 a.m. It’s 8:22 p.m., and you’ve already pitched in $684. In less than 12 hours, we’re only $216 from the goal.
Thanks for your generosity!

No sir, thank you
I come here at least twice a day, but when I travel I’m on almost the entire time, enjoying yours & Lanknows back&forth, and even the WCB in-season rants can be entertaining
