# 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
I am really anxious about even asking for, let alone accepting, donations of any kind. However there are costs associated with doing this. Any little bit helps.
I am not ready to accept donations yet, not until I feel like the servers are all up and running how they should. So for now, I just ask for your support.
Honestly, I am not even sure what platform I could use for this... Paypal? Patreon? Other... If you have suggestions, let me know.
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:
