[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nathanael_Mtd:
[HubDroid] December is the 6th month!

Hello users of Xperia STE builds and also other ROMs maked by HubDroid members!

I'm here to talk about the server.

Like you know we started the server renting in July and we still have it because there are many generous people here!

In end of April, with some awesome guys, we've created the Xperia STE team. From April to July we had a free server with 6 cores and tiny storage (240GB). Good server for this free price (in beta) but many limits appears.

In mid-may I talked with our team to purpose the idea of renting a server, real server. But the problem is the money. As you know nothing is really free.

We do not know if it would work, but we tried to make a request for donations to fund this server because our team did not really have the means to rent a server completely. You can see here the request post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52703981&postcount=243

After some hours we've recieved some donations. After some weeks we see we have much for one month. But we've don't started the server renting directly, because we have the free server and more could be saved, it would be better.

Server price is 43 EUR/month.

We've started the renting the 1st day of July.

Until this date we received 122 EUR, it is almost 3 server months!

After some days of configuration and testing, we've start the work. Good server, good storage, good network bandwidth!

Weeks after, some XDA members join our server for free because of people continued to donate.

Now we've completed 5 months and started the 6th month (1/2 year).

About donations we have now 311.75 EUR (386 USD / 23 925 INR / 38 985 PKR), donated by 40 amazing guys!

We are now 18 awesome users of the HubDroid server: [MENTION=5265948]Info4Geek[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5156330]Garcia98[/MENTION] - [MENTION=4766488]Abhinav2[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5143053]alwaysadeel[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5338729]Gava97[/MENTION] - [MENTION=4913184]percy_g2[/MENTION] - [MENTION=4166848]DevSwift[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5322548]AndroidNoob69[/MENTION] - [MENTION=4835685]Matoxxi[/MENTION] - [MENTION=4450732]CallMeAldy[/MENTION] - [MENTION=4364516]dagger[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5522022]Flo0008[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5334172]Gnome[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5226068]Men_in_black007[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5138693]AGONTUK[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5158920]kirmaniarslan[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5044750]v_superuser[/MENTION], we make hundreds of builds on these devices: Sony Xperia 2011 to 2014, Google Nexus, Samsung, LG, HTC and Asus Zenfone and there are more than 40 000 downloaders for approximatively 5TB of outgoing traffic each month.

The problem now is that we have only 34.85 EUR for January. We need minimum 8.15 EUR if you want builds next month but also for the following months.

Now we have much for January ! Thanks thanks thanks and another thanks to the three last donators ! We have now 10.67 EUR for February, donate = more builds, more projects, more time ! :)

If we don't have much money at end of the month I should not have choice other than to stop renting the server, and therefore we can mostly provide more new builds.

If you want to make a donation you have 2 methods, for the second method contact me in PM:
