Sorry. This one is out of our hands. It is the provider. I have a suspicion that the server we share with other sites is being busy because of the holidays. The Admin is looking to resolve this one way or another.

I have a question. Let's say that a member purchases a $30 membership, then a month later purchases a $100 membership. Is it a possibility that the remaining time on the $30 membership can be transferred to a person who at this time cannot afford a membership?

Yes

They can just private message me the name of who they want it to go to and we can manually change it

Just FYI:
I have been on the phone so many times with GoDaddy in the last few days that I know the number and prompt codes by heart.

Aside from wanting to sell us a dedicated server (for THIS amount of traffic? I dont fucking think so), they never take responsibility for the server being janky. One tech even tried to tell me that the "the server has dropped the connection" messages were because we needed to update the password on our hosting account. After I got through laughing, I asked for a supervisor and explained that we will no longer be needing their services and will be transferring our account.

Im DONE with GoDaddy.

Linus and I will begin the process for changing servers in the next couple of weeks.

Also, as a side note, the one-year of fees that we pre-paid to GoDaddy WILL be refunded to us so the site wont be out any money. We will, however, have to pay hosting fees for 2 different companies for about a month while we transfer everything.
I've never transferred a server so this will be a new experience for me (but then again, I'd never built a website until 6 months ago either and that didnt stop me)

Hang in there folks, faster days are coming
