ADU Masterguide update
For over 12 months, the Masteguide has been provided at no cost to its over 600 daily users. Regrettably, the cost of maintaining the monthly server fee has become unsustainable, and as the creator of the Masteguide, I find myself unable to cover it. The monthly hosting fee I pay is $120 a month and My annual investment in upholding the site's operational continuity amounts to $1,440 a year. When I recorded the Masterguide video, I was unaware of the extent of the financial commitment required to keep the Masterguide operational in the long term. The realization of these costs has come as a surprise, and it is with a heavy heart that I must now consider alternative options to maintain the continued availability of this valuable resource to new members as of 2/12/2023
