XIM is alive. Help me keep it alive.
I’ve been continuously making updates to the XIM Server (as you can see on the xim-status blog) but the VPS I’m using is a very “economic” one, pretty low-end for a service of this caliber. (still, we have some uptime =3)
XIM works right now (even though you’ll experience short ~5 min downtime every 4-5 hours for updates) and you can chat on it, but as more people start using it, the current server won’t be able to support it. Even now, the server is rejecting connections, especially during this time of the day, when it’s overloaded.
So I’ll be upgrading it to a bigger package, which means higher monthly costs (it already is costing me, along with xkit.info webhosting, a lot of money every month) so if you like XIM, please donate so I can at least make the ends meet.
Just keep three things in mind:
- XIM and XKit is free, and always will be, without any ads or anything else that can actually make me money.
- XIM (and XKit too, but not that much) servers cost money, monthly.
- A lot of XIM features such as messaging offline people so they can get your message when they become online, and multi-tab messaging has been disabled or limited due to server load.
- I’m still in college.
Donating is totally optional and not donating will not prevent you from using XIM or anything. Donating or not donating, and how much to donate is up to you.
Thank you. =3
