EDIS server hosting
EDIS server hosting is based on a KVM Plan (KVM SMART, ID kvm_47273_211705) and costs EUR 5.99 plus tax per month. The IP address of the server is 178.209.40.72, located in Switzerland. It runs a Debian 11 (Bullseye) 64Bit Linux operating system.
Payment method is set to PayPal. Payment can be automated by a repeating transfer from a PayPal account.
For managing financial aspects EDIS provides a web-based client area.

Note: If the treasurer changes, customer data can be updated via the client area but some fields are read only and require a change request sent via e-mail from <edisUser> to support@edis.at.
PayPal and Gmail account
The center uses a PayPal account for collecting donations and for paying the fees. The name of this PayPal account is an e-mail address connected to the account. The e-mail address is a Google mail address (gmail.com) and the same user and password is used for the Edis customer account, the Paypal account, and the Gmail account. The PayPal account has been upgraded to a 'business account' (free of charge) in order to be able to create the 'Donate' button on the center's web site.
