View MoreCSNet Expenses Last Updated: March 2, 2024 For those of you who may be wondering how much it costs to run an online Christian ministry such as Bill's Bible Basics and the Christian Social Network, following is a breakdown of recent expenses: A Better Finder Rename 24.95 (one time) Abyss Web Server 79.95 (annual upgrade) Adobe Photoshop 600.00/year until Adobe began subscription model Adobe Photoshop CC upgrade 119.88 (annual) Apple Developer Account $99.00 (annual) BBEdit 40.00 (annual upgrade) BBEdit upgrade 30.00 (annual upgrade) billkochman.com (Register.com) 470.00 (10 years) Camera for OBS Studio 18.99 (annual) Catch-all Email Address 70.00 (annual upgrade) csnet.live (Register.com) 191.00 (5 years) Facebook Clone Template 99.00 (one time) Feeder upgrade 19.99 (annual) ff·Works upgrade 13.58 (annual upgrade) iMac (Retina 5K 27-inch) 3,800.00 (one time) iPhone 6s Plus (iOS testing) 150.00 (one time) ISP services 225.00 (monthly) MailServe software 25.00 (one time) MAMP Pro 60.00 (one time) MAMP Pro upgrade 39.50 (annual upgrade) Moto G8 Power (Android testing) 216.00 (one time) phpFox Customization 2021-05-12 200.00 (one time) phpFox Instant Messaging 5.00 (monthly) phpFox Pro PHP script 539.00 (one time) phpFox Ultimate upgrade 1,060.00 (one time) phpFox Ultimate renewal 320.00 (annual upgrade) Register.com Email Account 74.00 (5 years) Register.com SiteLock 6.00 (monthly) Rumpus FTP server 295.00 (one time) SendGrid Email Service 15.00 (monthly) SNAP Pro WordPress plugin 49.95 (annual) TP-Link AX6000 WiFi 6 Router 328.00 (one time) XSplit VCam 60.00 (one time) The above expense list does not include the extra electricity all of the equipment uses each month, purchasing new computers when old ones wear out, buying replacement external backup hard drives and other electronic equipment such as routers, cable modems and cables, other annual software registrations and upgrade fees, or other occasional charges which arise. The truth of the matter is that since I first began this ministry in 1993, approximately $40,000 has been invested in it, of which about 80% has come out of my own pocket. This also does not include the thousands of hours I have invested in this ministry over the years, or the frustration I have endured countless times when technical problems arise, or when I have had a hard time learning new Internet technologies. So this ministry has been a major investment of my life in many ways. It is my labor of love for the Lord and His sheep. Your fellowservant, Bill Kochman Christian Social Network Administrator
