  • Donate to Digital Digest ...

    Update : Thanks to all those who donated, the "tough times" are hopefully past now, and donations are no longer necessary (although they are still very much appreciated) to keep this site operational. Thanks again!!


    It has come to that time of the month again, when all the bills arrive, and while most of the time we are able to pay these bills, it has become harder and harder over these last few month. Slower server and downtimes are unfortunately the reflection of the times. A couple of our visitors have suggested we try one of those online donation systems (eg. Amazon Honor System, which sites like the Internet Movie DataBase use - the IMDB, by the way, is a great site to find info about your favorite movie/tv-show). Unfortunately, since we are not in the US (Australia, actually), we can't use those US only services.

    We are now using the PayPal payment systems to process payments.

    If you choose to donate, you'll also have the option to list your name/email/URL and the amount you donated (all optional) in our Donor's Guestbook.

    I'll be sending you a personal reply through email about adding your details to our Donor's Guestbook, so make sure your email address is valid - if you don't receive an email within a few days and want to add your details to our Donor's Guestbook (or just want to confirm I received your donation), please email me.


    Thank-you



    P.S : If you don't want to donate, there are other ways to help this site. Below are some software that you can purchase, services that you can join and special deals that would also help support this site :

    What have we done with your donations ?

    In case you are wondering what we have done with the money you have donated to us, most of it has been spent on maintaining the site (eg. paying monthly hosting bills), but occasionally, we may add some new features for the site :
    • Each month, there are hundreds of dollars of hosting (server rental and bandwidth charges) and web access (both broadband cable modem and a 56 K modem, for backup).


    • Opening serveral new mirror links for files, to ensure download availablity during high peak usage times.


    • Added new dedicated server for DivX-Digest.com - site should now load much faster than before, and since it is dedicated, DivX Digest will be the only site using the server (unlike some other hosting options, which makes you share one dedicated server with 100's of other sites).


    • Purchased new forum software (VBulletin) and now hosting it on a dedicated server, for enhanced performance/security (and no annoying pop-up ads :)


    • Added new dedicated server for digital-digest.com and ddigest.com - site should now load much faster than before, and since it is dedicated, Digital Digest will be the only site using the server (unlike some other hosting options, which makes you share one dedicated server with 100's of other sites).


    • Pay for Zoneedit.com DNS Management - several million DNS hits = $$$


    • Added new dedicated server for file serving - allows for better bandwidth management, and keep downtimes to a minimum.


    • I need money to buy food ;)
