::::Currently we do not rent servers, Orain is ran purely on visualization options. The plan is to buy our own servers which can be physically labelled with Orain and taken where we want without any limits. It is wise to use our own servers as the price of hosting our own servers is less than dedicated servers but we remain full control and are not restricted by technical limitations. The number of wikis can grow past our hardware indeed, which is why we will have emergency fail over plans + procedures to get new hardware online once identified. We have considered the last option however the prices break even (just more for paying others) but we are restricted what their policies on what we can and can't do - most of which, I want to do.

:To answer your question {{ping|Timeshifter}} - the funds will secure hosting for at least a year, yes. What our goal with the full amount of funds was to secure hosting for a minimum of a year or more while we investigate our ability to purchase our own servers to lower the overhead cost. Thank you for helping to get some donations for Orain. If you have any questions, {{ping|John}} and I would be more than happy to answer them. <font face="MV Boli">[[User:Dusti|'''<font color="#ff0000">D</font><font color="#ff6600">u</font><font color="#009900">s</font><font color="#0000ff">t</font><font color="#6600cc">i</font>''']][[User talk:Dusti|<sup>*Let's talk!*</sup>]]</font> 15:29, 10 January 2015 (GMT)
::I hadn't thought of owning servers, combined with a fail over plan for additional servers/visualization/hosts/bandwidth online as needed. I guess it is like owning a house versus renting. If done right, ownership is cheaper. But getting the initial necessary money is a problem. I wonder if Wikimedia is still giving away old servers. Or businesses. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 19:09, 10 January 2015 (GMT)
