# Donate

If you feel the burning desire to help support this small blog of mine, please
take a look at the options below. You can still enjoy everything on this blog
for free, so please don't feel obligated to donate.

## How are donations used?

That's a good question. Almost all money donated goes towards hosting, domain
renewal costs and [open source services I use myself](/uses). Anything "extra"
ends up getting me a coffee (or beer) to enjoy while I publish more free (and
hopefully useful) content.

### Standard Donations

I currently don't have any options for standard donation.

### Hetzner Referral

For the web/software folk looking for a deal on server hosting: consider
using my Hetzner [referral link](https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=bXrpw5w6RQon),
and get 20 EUR of cloud credits for free. That's roughly 2-4 months
of hosting depending on the specs you choose. If you like the service
and end up spending 20 EUR later on, I receive 20 EUR in credits too.
