End of year charity / Biggest fundraiser ever [hosts please contribute]
Hi Folks,
I have been in touch with Andrej from Dr.Server & Ryan from NanoVZ who are very much willing to donate some packages to the cause and I have sent emails to a fair amount of other hosts but an still waiting to hear back.
What I am looking to do is a multi host, multi service charity offer, to be released on the 29th December to give us enough time to organize everything.
We are trying to get a WHMCS module created just for this so billing can go direct to the charity, if that is not achievable in time then we will come up with another system.
The charity we are looking to support is SHAK http://shak.org.uk/ SHAK provides sanctuary for abused, mistreated and neglected dogs. Taking in "all the dogs nobody else will" we address behavioural and health issues and try our best to give these dogs a home they can call theirs forever.
What we are looking for from hosts or anyone that wants to take part in making this a success are VPS Packages, Shared Hosting Packages, Domains, Dedi deals, or anything else hosting related you can think of!
The terms are up to you however the minimum we ask is that the full first months proceeds go to SHAK, obviously domains are all or nothing.
I will be trying to put up:
300 x low end spirit packages
50 x Xen PV_HVM based packages from UK, Phoenix, NL, Miami.
100 x Shared Hosting
A few Domains which might be of value:
From Dr.Server
50 x shared hosting plans
30 x sugarVPS 1 GB Plans.
A number of domain names
From NanoVZ
50 x 128MB Packages
25 x 1GB Bundles
Unused Domain names
From HostWithLinux
40 x UK cPanel packages
From HostUS
40 x shared hosting accounts and
40 x 1GB OpenVZ Specials (Atlanta, GA)
With all the drama of the past 12 months it will be nice to give everyone the opportunity to do something truly great as a collective community, grab some deals and save some lives!
You can reply here, PM me or email me at "i n b o x" _at) "in ce pt io n ho st in g" (DOT) c o m
Obviously this will be made a much better experience with the admins/mods helping out with edits after 24 hours and keeping it pinned for a while
Thanks for your time, I will update this thread as offers come in so people know what to expect.
Ant.

we will do 50 shared hosting packages, 30 sugarvps 1gb plans and we will list some of our unused domain portfolio.
40 UK cPanel packages (10gb space, 600gb bw). Can do this through the cPanel remote access key thing or I can do a 100% discount code for ordering through my site with access to support system etc.
I think it would be easier for providers to make random long discount codes so they can provide product specific support?
I would like to offer some VPS's but waiting on another /25
I will be doing
I will prepare my wallet..
We are talking about an idea to put up a central page with all offers/ options so the payments go direct to the charity and the order details go to the host to set up the accounts.
We will offer 40 shared hosting accounts and 40 * 1GB OpenVZ Specials (Atlanta, GA)
This is going to be epic.
it has to be epic
virtualizor guys confirmed, there will be some licences also
Said my wallet, while trembling tries to find a dark corner to hide itself.
@DaveA would be GREAT to see some vultr codes we could use for this, you guys print money for a living
I am sure then other big guys will follow his cause.
@AnthonySmith I am willing to help out, can help out in the coding of the whmcs plugin too, 30x myrsk cloud bundles will go to SHAK + 30x shared hosting accounts :-)

Wao, A lot of free packages.
They're not free...
Glad to see some hosts on board here :-).
I didn't see this one - is @netomx's charity auction completely separate?
http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/38873/donate-to-shak-for-a-chance-to-win-domains-with-gapps-or-services
Maybe they should be combined?
I still vote that @mpkossen makes them sticky :-)
I gave in @netomx's thread so won't duplicate here...not that I really need any prizes, just happy to help SHAK.
@raindo308 Yeah they're separate, but both go to the same cause. This is more like a charity sale/auction - everyone's donating boxes to sell, with proceeds going to charity. Not a raffle/giveaway for donors.
I don't care if they are combined, and if they are, I'll add 3 more domains with 50 gapps
yeah sorry that was just poor thinking on my behalf, should have just requested combination from the start
I can do a thread merge, but then things will get messy.
I will be preparing my credit cards
Isn't this missing the #firstworldproblems tag?!
Not cool mate. If you don't want to support the cause then it's fair enough, but don't belittle it.
Why are you supporting dog charities when there are starving/abused/enslaved people in the world?
i have to agree on this one - just my opinion.
But at the end of the day, its still for a good cause.
I will gladly support you, start a fundraiser.
I've already agreed to make the final fundraiser a sticky :-)
Because contrary to popular opinion other things matter, humans create human problems, there is already enough food in the world to end world hunger tomorrow but we feed the crops to animals instead then then get used for your 99p mc'shit burger
Apart from that they are very well represented to begin with.
So you're arguing we should never support animal welfare charities?
Because that's what you're saying, and it's really ugly.
