The new server will be approximately $3000 for what we anticipate will hold us for the next two years. YorkieTalk overall will be a lot faster and easier to use as well. We've already gone through four server upgrades, we're just amazed that we continue to grow so fast. We thank you for that!
This is where we are asking you for help. Donations will help us greatly. If you feel YorkieTalk is a useful resource and can spare a few bucks, we would appreciate it greatly. You can send donations via Paypal to
donations@yorkietalk.com or you can PM us for the mailing address to send a check or money order. The ads and donations we currently receive would not be enough to handle the bandwidth costs and server costs, too.
We'd also like to sincerely thank each and every person who has donated to YorkieTalk in the past, as you are the reason that YT is alive. It would be impossible to pay for costs for a community this large without your help!
If we don't get a new server, we may have to limit certain functions on YorkieTalk, such as search, picture attachments, and the Photo Gallery. We've had to remove a few boxes from the main YT page because of this server issue. Any restrictions would be a last resort, and we hope we don't have to do that, but we may have to to be able to serve all Yorkie owners without the server crashing.
Your contributions have helped thousands and thousands of Yorkie owners since 2004 (almost nine years now), and we hope we can continue to be able to be your Yorkshire Terrier community. Thank you for reading this.
