Donations for hosting

[thelusiv]

Since VDrift's hosting is no longer free, we encourage users who feel like they have gotten a good product from the project to donate a little to help offset the costs of hosting.

In the beginning VDrift.net was hosted by SourceForge, but this was found to be far too slow for comfortable use. Following this, the project was sponsored by the Clemson Linux User Group until July 2007 when some hosting issues made it apparent that a slightly more stable host would benefit the project. The present host of VDrift.net is DreamHost, a shared hosting provider. Joe Venzon, author of VDrift, is paying for hosting out of pocket.

DreamHost has a feature that makes it very simple for users to make donations directly to the hosting account for the project. There is now a link on the left side of the page in the "Sponsors" block that allows anyone to contribute directly in this manner.

If you enjoy VDrift, and would like to make some kind of contribution but aren't sure how to go about it, this is perfect for you. Even if you can only contribute a very small amount, even $1 USD, it will make a difference, and help keep the VDrift project running.

Here's the donation link again:
