We Need Your Help!

The plex server costs a decent amount to keep running. It costs more than a typical streaming service for me to run, but it also lets me provide this service to all of you without you needing to pay individually.

To help me keep the server running, I'd appreciate anything you're willing to give.

As a guide to my costs, I've documented the server costs below. I do NOT expect anyone to cover all my costs, but this should help you understand what this service costs to run.


The server consists of over 16 TB of storage. Every year we try to add a few TB's of storage, but this doesn't come cheap.
Replacing any one hard drive costs about $150. In any given year at least one hard drive fails unexpectedly (this is normal with the amount of storage we have).

Internet, VPN, Download Services
I don't recommend that people just try and run one of these servers on their own. You have to worry about securing a VPN connection, hiding our totally legal downloads from people watching, and paying for access to some of the services we use.

  • I don't expect anyone to help pay for my internet, but that's about $1200 per year.
  • Our VPN service that keeps the traffic hidden costs roughly $80 per year
  • Our services to get the content cost about $150 per year

Our server is getting old
I've been running this service for quite a few years now, and the hardware running our server is getting pretty old. Upgrading the hardware for the server is something I'd like to do, but it comes at a cost of no less than $500.
