MangaDex is still growing steadily, approaching 12 million users per month and increasing. Due to COVID-19 and the closure of a certain popular site, this growth has been higher than expected and we have had to make unexpected server upgrades as a result.

Our infrastructure

  • 1 webserver - $70
  • 1 master database server - $70
  • 2 slave database/image archive servers - $95 each
  • 1 slave database server - covered by rdn
  • 1 NA cache/image archive server - $140
  • 1 EU cache server - $110
  • CDN for recent uploads/DDoS Protection - $180
  • Reverse proxy - covered by Path
  • CDN for older uploads - covered by MangaDex Network

Why don't we have ads?

As previously stated, ads are the absolute last resort. They will not be used as long as server costs can be covered by cryptocurrency donations , and there are enough clients to maintain the MangaDex Network.

How you can help

Supporters will be getting access to extra settings as an incentive (coming soon).

You can support us directly by donating cruptocurrency, or indirectly by running a MangaDex@Home client for the MangaDex Network.

If you would like more information about running a MangaDex@Home client, please see this page. This option is open to everyone, even if you have absolutely no experience or knowledge of server management.

MangaDex receives millions of visitors each month, and in order to cope with this, our infrastructure spans many servers. We even created our own CDN to cope with the bandwidth load. All of this isn't cheap, but currently we are sustained by the userbase. As long as the monthly costs can be met this way, ads will not be used. Please make an account if you would like to support us!
