Advertisers help keep the lights on and our systems operating. There's a lot more to vpsBoard than meets the eye. Aside from maintaining a quality, spam-free community we also have taken additional measures, unique to us, to protect user privacy. We like to keep all systems in-house, and eliminate 3rd party services and software where possible. We also spend a great deal of time resolving performance issues that arise, fending off attacks, implementing changes based on community suggestions and performing general server maintenance.

Ad Rates & Availability

 

vpsBoard has excellent ad rates with three high visibility placement options. Compare our rates and impressions per dollar to competing forums and you'll see that our advertising is some of the least costly anywhere. Best of all we have a targeted audience with interests in web hosting, technology, VPS, dedicated hosting, shared hosting, cloud computing, game server hosting, DIY, etc.   All are rapidly evolving and highly competitive markets.

Below are just some of the benefits of advertising with vpsBoard:

• In-house ad system. No 3rd party ad network overhead or spying, and no 3rd party taking a 25% cut of ad-revenue. This keeps cost low. Accounts are self-managed by advertisers.
• Very limited ads in rotation means your ad is seen often and isn't simply lost in the crowd of ads.
• Less ads in rotation + highly visible ad placement = Great opportunity for brand awareness.
• Browser based 'Ad Block' plugins do not prevent vpsBoard advertisements from being displayed. *(See note below)
• Convenient payment options allow you to pay monthly, quarterly, or bi-annually to lock in current rates.

 

*As of writing this, AdBlockPlus and other similar browser based ad-blocking plugins does not prevent vpsBoard advertisements from being displayed. The way our in-house system has been coded allows us to change the subdomain or domain that ads are being served from quickly and easily in the event the current one does become blacklisted.
