Support Riata: Donate

So, you love Riata and you have some spare cash lying around? Well, we have just the idea for you. Every month, Riata costs us money in hosting, and while we are currently able to pay this out of our own pockets (Mel, Sarah, and Beth do most of the paying), it's always helpful to have other people pitching in as they can. So, if you're interested in donating some money towards our hosting bill, we would honestly love you forever. How much do we pay? Well, hosting is up at $25 a month, and our message board license is $200 a year, plus other various scripts and accessories that make Riata the killer game that it is.

Riata will never, ever make you pay to play the game. If you do want to help us, though, we will give you some special things in thanks and appreciation. So, what will you get? Well, keep reading and find out.

Donation Gifts

Interested in donating? Interested in seeing what kind of thank you you'll get? Read the list below.

  • Can have a custom designation on the Riata forums
  • Will receive a you.riata-online.net subdomain for your use in the game, with 200MB of space, no ads, and an FTP user account.
  • Will receive a you@riata-online.net e-mail account that you can use as either a webmail account or a POP3 account.
  • If you need one, you'll get a MySQL database as well.
  • All the features that DreamHost account holders normally get, including one-click script installs, the ability to use PHP and CGI scripts, and lots lots more.
  • We'll keep adding things here as we can think of them.

So how much do you have to donate? A good general rule of thumb is about $2 a month for what you're getting. If you want to donate more than $15 a year, you'll get all of the above. Less than $15 a year will give you the choice of the free space or free e-mail.
