 ==Server Status==
-WikiChristian is hosted on a dedicated server for the past 10 years or so and the current monthly cost of the server is approximately $165.20. The cost of the server has been sponsored fully by one of the founders of WikiChristian, [[User:Prab|Prab]] who considers this an honor and privilege. While we currently are not looking to raise any money toward the server or administrative costs, as we grow we might need to consider this in the future based on future needs. With over 1 Million page edits since the start of the project, and over 36 million page views, WikiChristian continues to grow in the usefulness and relevance of the content.

 As you may be aware, the two co-founders of WikiChristian happen to be practicing physicians in different parts of the world whom the Lord brought together when we first started the project. Initially we had the 5 to 6 years of a very active growth phase with a significant growth in terms of very useful user contributed content from a wide variety of users.

 Then came the spammers who nearly choked the capacity of the server making it impossible to manually revert all the changes bringing WikiChristian to a virtual standstill. About 2 years ago, we decided to keep the project dormant until we figure out a solution on how to delete all the spam content and bot created users.
