Support tilde.club
Help keep tilde.club and the other community services I run free for everyone.
I cover the costs that contributions don't reach. A few dollars a month from people who can afford it would make that easier to keep doing.
Thanks to everyone already helping. It makes a difference.
Monthly contributions shown
$25.00 / $250.00 each month
10% of the monthly goal. $225.00 still to go each month.
4 recurring contributions across the tracked payment methods.
50 people giving $5 a month would cover this goal before payment fees. Smaller contributions help get there too.
These are the recurring contributions recorded by this site and its connected providers, before payment fees. One-time gifts and contributions through other methods may not be included.
Help with the monthly bills
Even $3 or $5 a month helps. Choose Monthly for ongoing support, or Once for a single contribution.
Card payments are in USD. Pick an amount that works for you.
How much?
How often?
Card payments are processed by Stripe. Monthly contributions repeat until cancelled. You can cancel through your donation account.
What you're helping keep online
Contributions help cover the servers and domains behind these services:
- tilde.club — shell accounts, personal websites, email, and a place to build things together.
- NewNet and other IRC services — independent chat and community channels.
- NetHack — hosting for playing, watching, and replaying games across several variants.
- TildeRadio — community radio and the tools that help DJs get on air.
These services stay free to use. Contributing is optional and doesn't change anyone's access.
Running costs
The approximate costs published here are:
- Hosting
- About $200 each month
- Domains
- About $150 each year
I cover the shortfall personally. Monthly contributions make it easier to plan for the bills; one-time contributions help too.
Other payment methods
Use whichever works best for you. These contributions help with the same hosting and domain costs.
For recurring contributions through another provider, manage them through that provider.
Tilde Club is not a registered charity or legal entity. Contributions are not tax-deductible.
Gold Star & other ways to help

If you'd like to be added to the Gold Star Supporters list, email root@tilde.club after contributing. Let me know your tilde username or the name you'd like listed. Recognition is optional.
Help without spending money
Join in on IRC, build a page, send a pull request, help another user, or tell someone about the community. That helps too.
Affiliate link
If you're already buying domains or hosting, Web Hosting Canada is an affiliate link that can help support the running costs.
