### 2. Hosting
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the project is hosted on my own server, and I don't expect my
|
||||
server to go away any time soon, but if a lovely hosting company, like
|
||||
Joyent or Media Temple or someone equally as lovely wants to step in and
|
||||
contribute a simple server to host from - then we'll credit you
|
||||
appropriately and you'll get lots of kudos from the web community for
|
||||
being lovely.
|
||||
For the first 5 years mit-license.org was hosted on my own dedicated server, but I've now moved to Heroku and am paying a mostly. If you would like to donate **[please donate here](https://www.paypal.me/rem)** include a message and I will add your name to the credit.

||||
super. Just create a new theme and send me a pull request.
