Talked to my son today, and he is spossed to be checking your fine website out. Long story, but we were very close when Nick was young, but got separated. We’re fine now and he is in ‘net security in jr. college, mostly Cisco servers and wireless routers. He can learn any type of code quickly, and said he wud like to help out. His gpa on maternal side made captain as Army scout and survived 8 mos on island b4 nabbed by japs. On my side, his gpa went to school in Ozark log cabin b4 designing first SNAP reactor to be put in orbit. Hopefully brilliance does skip a generation. Nicholas has been around music a lot, traveler with Astral Gypsies giant puppet troop as teen. Hopefully he will be in contact w/ this joint. If you ever need $s to keep this going, just give me a way to make it easy, like street address where I can mail a check.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I had to figure out a few answers and I don’t really have any, at this time. But, I’ll relay what has been discussed.
We don’t really need any help right now – though if your son wants something to do then they’re welcome to “pen-test” the site or contact me at admin (at) musicfor.us.
Financially, the only reason there are ads is so that I can (eventually) get the site to the point where it’s self-sustaining and will remain paying for itself. Right now, while the offer to donate is appreciated, there’s no real huge financial burden.
The site doesn’t look like it’s going to be very expensive and, right now, is hosted for the next year. Maybe when domain name renewal comes up, or something like that? I’ll let folks know and those that want can find a way to contribute.
For now, we use Google’s Ads. I can’t ask folks to click on ’em, ’cause that’s against the rules. I can ask people to unblock them, if they have them blocked. Whitelisting them will help a little. To date, we’ve not made a whole lot – but it’s not about making money, it’s about breaking even.
I don’t believe any of us are terribly hurt for finances, so it’s not too bad – even if it expands beyond what we’re currently hosted on. If it is, there’s an upgrade path with the hosting company and I’ll just have ’em move it to a more expensive package. ‘Snot a terrible process and they can probably do it with zero downtime.
But, that’s a long ways off.
We use less than 400 MB (so far) of disk space and we used less than 1 GB of bandwidth last month. We can go up to 25 GB in disk and 250 GB of bandwidth per month. So, it’s going to be a while before it’s a problem.
