GoFundUs! (for domain name renewal cost)

Mark B wrote:Hi everybody,


I got the annual auto-renewal notice from GoDaddy for our web address and various sundry items. 


It's $17.99/year for the .COM domain renewal and another $27.98/year for their "Ultimate Domain Protection and Security Renewal" package. $45.97 total.


It's not a ton of money, but it'd be nice to split the tab. 


If you're able to kick in something, please let me know below and we'll figure out how to make it work.


Thanks!


Mark

I'm in! 

Just let me know how to get the funds to you.

And thanks for doing this.

Wow, I didn't know this board still exists!  I might have to come back again, but probably won't 

But, I'm in...just in case I do come back.

Hey I'll kick in - just let me know how.

Mark, maybe check out multi-year options, too.

Here's how it prices out for multiple years. No cost savings.

1 year: $50.03 
2 years: $100.05
3 years: $150.08

5 years: $250.13

So I guess it depends how much we feel like offering up. Thoughts?

I'm happy to do whatever the group thinks is best.  If we go multi year then you don't have to hassle with renewing and gathering money every year.  I'm good with a long term commitment but if others are unsure this will still be viable in the future then maybe a shorter commitment is optimal.  

No preference on my part.  I'll go with whatever the group decides.

Okay, it looks like there are five of us willing to chip in.

That'd work out to:

$10 each for 1 year. ($50 total)
$20 each for 2 years. ($100 total)
$30 each for 3 years. ($150 total)
$50 each for 5 years. ($250 total)
There is no discount for multiple years.

I'm afraid I don't know how to embed a voting round in this, so you'll just have to let me know what amount/time sounds best to you. 

So what's your vote? $50 each seems a bit much, but $20-$30 seems more reasonable.

Is this cost the only cost we have?  Nothing from forumotion?

I'm fine with $20, but could go $30, if Mark renounces barefoot running.

This right here is why I like Kevin better... 

Sounds like we're leaning toward $30. Does that sound OK with the rest of you?

You've ALWAYS liked Kevin better. 

$30 is fine.

Boy!  I hope I'm not around when Miche1e shows up.

Do you know how many bottles of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine she can buy with $30??????

Hahahaha - I'm good - I can PayPal or Zelle the funds - just let me know.

Update: I've sent Zelle requests for two of you and tips to the other two about your next step. (A check is fine, too.)

I went ahead and renewed for three years. Here are the receipts.

Thanks, Kevin! And also thanks Doug, Michele and Nancy! Everything went smoothly and we're good for another three years.
