I don't know which announcement you've been reading...
"1) The hosting company we are using allows for anyone to directly pay for server hosting. This way, you are able to renew the servers. However, if you use this option, you must pay for the entire month, and not just a portion of it."
Here it states that if you pay the hosting company directly, it can only be done in entire months. 1 month, 2 months or 3 months.
"Servers should not be paid up for more than 3 months in advance, in case we need to make any changes to the realms with short notice."
Here they state that Elysium doesn't want to have the servers paid for for more than 3 months at a time, in case something happens and they need to switch server or whatever, it'd be wasted money basically.
If you pay them through paypal, you can donate anything you want, and once they reach the required amount of money they are able to pay the hosting company for 1 month.
