Beginning these days, VirtualR accepts donations to help covering the expanding expenditures of operating this online site. This was an extremely tricky choice for me as I was frequently proud to be able to refuse donations however the current developments have given me no other decision.
As many of you might by now have go through during the Twitter posting below, the internet page will quickly be moving to a further strong server as it has outgrown the current platform yet again. Until finally March 2009, the web site ran on the shared hosting account costing me under 50EUR a month. In the world today a long gone,Windows 7 Home Premium (http://www.windows7-key.org/), the webpage now demands servers with multi-core CPUs and loads of RAM to stay up while in load hours. As you can think of, the month-to-month prices of working this services have steeply inclined in addition.
Adding towards the situation will be the chosen blogging platform. Whereas Wordpress is definitely a fairly amazing and feature-rich system,Office 2010 Professional Plus (http://www.office2010-key.ca/), it’s notoriously resource-hungry when it comes to high-load situations. That’s why my long-term goal is to move the website to a much more professional blogging platform that is a lot more suited to high-traffic sites such as this one,Microsoft Office 2007 Key (http://www.office2007-key.ca/), giving VirtualR a significantly more solid foundation. Migrating to a whole new technique goes way beyond my technical skills though, meaning I will have to get professional assistance to get this done.
Till now, my advertisers have been solely responsible for keeping this site alive, the advertising revenue is significantly more and extra unable to keep up with the rising expenditures though. The current number of banners on the blog are pretty much the maximum I'm willing to do, I don’t want VirtualR to become one of those sites where you have to look hard to find the content between all the advertising.
There are no other sources of revenue as I refuse to accept payments from any company in exchange for positive endorsements as I strongly believe that VirtualR must stay completely neutral to be a valuable services for the community. I never want to get into a situation where I have to positively cover some arcade racer or anything else that I feel does not fit the community just because it pays properly.I'm not on the payroll of any developer or companies with a business interest in this community,Windows 7 Ultimate (http://www.microsoftwindows7key.net/), advertising is never hidden in content but strictly limited towards the banner spots you are able to clearly identify as such on the internet page.
As all of this limits my choices to make the money that is required to keep the internet page alive, I have decided to accept donations as a lot of you have been asking about that during the past.
I`d like to point out one thing clearly: There will be no benefits for donors or any kind of limits for everyone else. Whether or not you donate, VirtualR will stay the same free place it utilised to be. I don’t want to pressure anyone to donate in any way, you're free to enjoy the web site without ever donating a dime. But if you feel that truly independent sim racing news are worth to be supported with a few bucks, I'll humbly accept your donation under.
Thanks a lot for reading through all this,Microsoft Office 2010 Key (http://www.office2010-key.ca/), I felt the need to explain my judgement in detail. I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with the whole situation so I would appreciate it if you could leave some of that brutally-honest feedback VirtualR readers are known for
