# Costs and Donations

Running Minecraft servers has some costs, and I would really appreciate your help in keeping the server up and running. Below is a cost breakdown.

## Costs

|-----------------------------|-------------|-----------------------------------------|
| Electricity                 | Monthly     | 24c/KWh * ~100W continuous = ~$17.53    |
| Domain (midnightvalley.net) | Yearly      | $15.16 ($1.26/M)                        |
| Internet                    | Monthly     | $37.50 (Let's say $9.40 for the server) |

Hey there,
I really appreciate your support, every little bit helps! Behind the scenes, keeping these servers up can be a bit of a challenge, so, the coffee helps!

There will be no rewards for donations, in-game or otherwise. Donations will also not affect your status on the server including bans, kicks or whitelist. Simply my gratitude and thanks. It really does mean a lot to me. :slight_smile:

Donations are non-refundable.
