Overview


Thank you for your interest in helping the site !

SpeedGuide.net is financed mostly by banner advertising revenue, and personally by the editor. Running and maintaining a fairly large site does not come cheap, there are server colocation hosting fees (hundreds of GB of traffic per month), some periodic server changes and programing services, etc. If we also consider the time it takes to maintain and update the site, program the custom backend, code/support/update our free online and downloadable programs, the research and time invested in writing articles, faqs, news, reviews, moderating the forums, and in general all the valuable services this site provides, all this is clearly supported by our own enthusiasm and desire to share information, rather than a sound business model. Still, SpeedGuide.net is not only a full time job for the editor, but it also relies heavily on the help of our editors, forum moderators and users in many aspects, from writing articles and posting news to answering questions in our forums.
