Servers monitoring and hosted sites status – a new site for the NGNM Tech Team

Did you know that the NGNM Tech Team manages 10 servers hosting over 30 websites? For over 20 years, we have been funding the hosting and web development of various communities, newsletters, music-sharing platforms, and news media. This is one of the main financial commitments of the No Gods No Masters Cooperative with recurrent donations every month to keep the websites running.

In recent years the growth of the network has accelerated with several new servers and new hosted sites. It’s sometimes difficult to keep track so the tech team has launched a new site dedicated to the NGNM Network and its hosted site. There you can find all the information about the sites and real-time reporting of servers’ status.

No Gods No Masters Network – Providing web servers and programming help to the activist community since 2001

The collective is born from a collaboration between a dozen of anarchist websites that required specific web hosting needs. It started in 2001 under the name of Resistance Network which later teamed up with Anarkhia Collective to build our own self-managed servers.

Our programmers create custom-made apps and tools for the communities we host, providing activists with tools that are usually reserved for professionals.

All of our servers and web development costs are funded by No Gods No Masters Cooperative

Shop Updates for 2020

2019 was a hell of a year for No Gods No Masters. We had to undergo through some major changes – and we are still in recovery mode. Here’s what happened.

Flex Print is gone

We are very sad to announce that we no longer support Flex Printing. The company doing printing for our shop decided to completely discontinue flexography. We strongly think this is a bad decision and we tried to fight to keep this type of printing but unfortunately, we have no control over the final decision.

Pricing adjustments

During the last 10 years, we never increased the price of our t-shirts. Our model is based on low margins to offer clothing at affordable prices. In the past, we absorbed all of the pricing increases and we chose to reduce our margins instead of increasing the prices.

But recently, our printer increased their print cost by 50%, and for the first time ever we had to take a tough decision and adjust our pricing. The t-shirts are now sold at $16.67 instead of $15.49.

We are currently in talks with different companies to find a new print partner to reduce costs for our customers.

No new designs

During the summer of 2019, our printing partner introduced major changes in their system which means we had to completely re-write the backend of our shop. The migration was much more complicated than expected and it created a lot of serious technical issues. Since then, it is impossible to add new designs to our shop. We are still working to find a solution, but for now, we are not able to accept any new design submissions. This is why we didn’t add any new designs in 2019.

No more promotions

From time to time, we used to run limited-time promotions such as 15% OFF. This is because we were sometimes getting reduced pricing from our printing partner. Unfortunately, these discounts are no more provided and paid by our supplier, so we can’t offer them anymore.

We also had to adjust the discounts offered to non-profits.

Designer area

If you are a designer who is a member of the cooperative, please note that the partner area is currently going under maintenance. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to log in and view your statistics. We are working to fix this issue as soon as possible.
