If you enjoy playing on Dominion and would like to support and give back, consider donating to help fund the cost of our server. Whether you can spare a few dollars just this once or help every month, every little helps offset the costs of the server.
We offer two methods of support:
| DISCORD PREMIUM | https://discord.com/channels/557986764548079617/role-subscriptions or click the Premium Membership link at the top of the channel list | | --- | --- | | PAYPAL | https://paypal.me/dominionserver?locale.x=en_US |
Dominion is committed to keeping our server fair and equal for all players. So we will NEVER give donators any benefit that would give them an unfair advantage and we will NEVER require players to pay in order to play. We hope that members of our community will help support us because they enjoy playing on our server/s.
However, we do give all our donators (whether monthly or one-off) a permanent yellow colored name to display their support to everyone. Supporting us via Discord Premium Membership also gives access to a selection of emoji.

The following is a complete report of all the costs and contributions Dominion has paid/received since we launched. This is now the 24th month Dominion has been running on a dedicated server.
We write this post monthly because transparency is one of our founding pillars. We think it is important that the community knows exactly how much is earned, how it is spent, and on exactly what each month.
Please note that this is not what was earned / spent this month, but all costs and donations since launching in September 2019:
<aside> 💸 Expenses Our Dedicated server costs $116.00/month. The total we have spent on renting a dedicated server is: $4829.00
We also have made various one off payments, as well as monthly subscriptions to premium plugins/bots for Minecraft and Discord. In addition, we also pay for off-site backup storage. In total, these extra costs currently equate to roughly $54.00/month. That total is now: $955.49
This takes our total costs for the server to: $6640.49
</aside>
<aside> 💰 Donations Through donations via PayPal and Discord subscriptions, we have received a total of $6,619.36. (after relevant platform’s fees)
</aside>
Any excess donations made to the server will be held for future expenses, upgrades, and one off purchases such as plugins or premium Discord bots. We want to be explicitly clear that this money never enters anybody's pocket.
From time to time, we may see a dip in donations and this bonus fund will be used to supplement those months. In addition, the supplemental income can also be used to explore premium plugins/services, as well as upgraded our hardware in the future.
