On this page I will keep IUOMA members up to date on how the financial situation is for IUOMA on NING. According to the new guidelines by NING the hosting costed 588 USD (=508 Euro at current rates) when paid on a yearly basis.

For 2024-2025 : 508 EURO is brought up by members/sponsors (paid for)

For 2025-2026 : 540 EURO is brought up by members/sponsors (paid for)

For 2026-2027 : 503 euro needed (37 euros brought up by members/sponsors)

For 2027-2028 : 540 euro needed.

Thanks for all the donations! You people keep this platform alive for all!

update : July 20th 2025

The exchange-rate of USD-EUR might change the numbers a bit. And if NING changes it rates again, the table changes too! Due to decrease of value US$ the price went up for 2026

For Paypal donations: IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option. That means the transaction costs are minimal and Paypal doesn't get a large part of your donation.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on September 17, 2023 at 7:29am: Thanks for keeping IUOMA safe, Ruud,

let's keep ning network alive and well

Comment by Ruud Janssen on September 17, 2023 at 6:40am: The site update to the https:// is already made. Both versions should work. Just ty it!

Another lind donation arrived yesterday. Keeps everything alive for a longer time. Great, thank you!

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on August 23, 2023 at 9:07am: That is good news! Yes, and with thousands of members on this platform I thought it would be easy to keep the IUOMA online network alive. But possibly not everyone sees this group neither the 'donate' part... So, to all IUOMA members: hear! hear! Help by contributing!

Additional a question to Ruud: how much does it cost to add a 's' to the 'http', so that this site will be https?

It does feel a bit (or much) more safe, so possibly it is worht it?

Comment by Ruud Janssen on August 23, 2023 at 7:25am: Hosting for another year has been paid for.

Lets keep this platform alive. Donationa are always welcome.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on April 10, 2023 at 11:57am: November 2008 this platform was created for the IUOMA. Soon we reach the 15 years online. Who ever thought we would stay alive that long without commercial adds on the platform.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on March 19, 2023 at 5:10am: new donation from KN in G added some more time. Thanks so much

Comment by Ruud Janssen on March 4, 2023 at 3:31pm: The Website on NING crashes and was restored. That happened on March 2nd.

Now slowly all functions are being restored. Also the datacapacity of the website was enlarged: 335.92 GB (67%) of 500 GB is now used.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on February 15, 2023 at 6:17pm: today this IUOMA on NING website is 333.94 GB large.

That explains why the hosting is expensive

Want to support the IUOMA with a financial gift via PayPal?

The money will be used to keep the IUOMA-platform alive. Current donations keep platform online till 1-AUG-2026. If you want to donate to get IUOMA-publications into archives and museums please mention this with your donation. It will then be used to send some hardcopy books into museums and archives. You can order books yourself too at the IUOMA-Bookshop. That will sponsor the IUOMA as well.

IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option with donation on Paypal. That makes transaction fee the lowest.

This IUOMA platform on NING has no advertisings, so the funding is completely depending on donationsby members. Access remains free for everybody off course
