  2. Taylan is hosting the wiki on a server from Hetzner Online GmbH, costing 55.57 EUR per month.
  3. On Taylan's Ko-Fi page, you will see a donation goal every year to cover that year's costs.
  4. Please don't send any more money after the yearly goal is reached.

Furthermore:

  1. Taylan may also use the server for projects unrelated to the Baldur's Gate 3 Wiki.
  2. This generally demands a very small fraction of the server's available resources.
