Out of the FOG Expenditures
There are four primary costs associated with operating Out of the FOG.
Domain Registration: Domains are internet addresses which we pay a fee to register. Out of the FOG is available at the following domains:
Our domains are registered at GoDaddy.com.
Web Site Hosting: Our web site is the information (non message board) part of Out of the FOG. We pay an annual fee to have all of our content hosted on servers at GoDaddy.com. This service provides the storage and bandwidth which makes Out of the FOG available on the internet.
Message Board Hosting: Our message board is hosted by Zetaboards. This service is free but we pay Zetaboards a fee ($0.18/1000 post views) to suppress Zetaboards advertising on our support forum.
Site Marketing: When we first launched Out of the FOG in 2007, we used Google Ads to publicize the site. These were ads displayed when someone performed a Google search related to a personality disorder.
