We can't donate money but could we...

Donate hardware? The company I work for just replaced our servers and I was able to keep the old ones (from 2013). I really don't have any use for them but love to donate them to the WAR devs.

Thoughts?

To be honnest, we don't own our server, but rent them. The main problem would be the connexion bandwidth at home (for example, i've only 20MB upload, whereas the server most important needs are at about 60MB).

BTW, i might be interessed personnaly for other projects. It depends on the price, kind of server (rack or not) and configuration.

Well, the server "issue" has to be tackled sooner or later.

Once we get T4, this VPS is not going to keep up. OVH being one of the slowest VPS providers does not help. I have 2 OVH VPS and one on another provider and the latter gave me twice as many processors for the same price and scores much higher on the VPS benchmarks website.
