Welcome to Susan's Place. This site has a huge amount of traffic so it is hosted on it's own server. In addition, there is a minecraft server along with Chat. The donations pay the cost for a full time person to maintain the site, high speed connection, hardware replacement and a location to house all the equipment. You are not required to donate to the site and as the result, many use the site at no cost. You will receive the same treatment on the site even if you don't donate. I estimate each day there are 400 to 700 register users on the site and possibly as many as 7000 non registered users viewing the site. To host this much traffic on a shared server would cost far more than your simple package and you would face an additional security risk with a third party having access to your personal data. We place your personal privacy very high so members can feel secure when using this site. Also, you may note that the site is free of advertising and your email address is between you and the site. We will not sell your email address to an advertiser.
