Currently South Side Hackerspace: Chicago uses Amazon Web Services to host a number of our technical solutions, including our LDAP system, main website, and this very wiki.

The credits expire after the 12 month period, and will not roll over to the next year. Techsoup charges an "administrative fee" of $175 for this grant. Doing the math, we'd be receiving $167/mo of credit for $14.58/mo. We currently pay $40-50 per month, so this is a pretty wise business decision if you ask me. | Currently South Side Hackerspace: Chicago uses Amazon Web Services to host a number of our technical solutions, including our LDAP system, main website, and this very wiki.

Background
Currently South Side Hackerspace: Chicago uses Amazon Web Services to host a number of our technical solutions, including our LDAP system, main website, and this very wiki. In recent months, the cost has started to approach around $40-$50 monthly, which isn't terrible for the amount we're getting out of it. However, AWS has a techsoup grant available for $2,000 of credit, renewable yearly. The credits expire after the 12 month period, and will not roll over to the next year. Techsoup charges an "administrative fee" of $175 for this grant. Doing the math, we'd be receiving $167/mo of credit for $14.58/mo. We currently pay $40-50 per month, so this is a pretty wise business decision if you ask me.
