# 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
| What | Period | How much |
|-----------------------------|-------------|-----------------------------------------|
| 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) |
| Subnet's Time | N/A | Coffee :coffee: |
| **TOTAL** | **Monthly** | **~29.19 + Coffee** |
## Donations
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.
