[Sugestions and Help] Ideas on making money for a dedicated host!?

[Darksid]

Hey guys so recently me and a couple buddies including Volitle, opened a server called Beginning of Warcraft. I am currently hosting the computer from home, but due to my ISP i can not get ports open =(. So Volitle and my friends can not get onto the server. I have done mostly everything on my own with some help from Pwntzyou. But the basic idea is that i need to save up around 100 dollars a month for a small dedicated that i can get very soon in order to run the server. We have a huge team mostly consisting of contributors from mmowned. We are not one of those nub servers that just want to become big with Battlegrounds and Raiding. We have TONS of custom things, and just a great server waiting to be released! Please list your ideas on ways i can get around 100 dollars a month. I have come up with


-Scamming (haven't done it in forever but could continue)
-Some of Obama's Ideas like forum bumping etc..


Thats all i have thought of please post some of your ideas. If you feel like you may be able to help our team then please msn me at [email protected].

umm set up a decent donation system, once you can afford the first month, advertise your forum as much as you can in a legit manner.

your donations should be able to cover your monthly hosting fee's as long as you have a good server to play on and keep players interested

if you play retail WoW, farm gold till you can afford to pay for the first month.

Offer plenty of tournaments for your players, and make some nice donor items. Then just offer some cool custom items for the tournament winners.
