Your very funny!



If you can't afford to run a web site then don't run one, no body is forcing you to go bankrupt or something for spending 20 bucks a month.

Whats the weather like out there in fantasy land?

Distributed audience benchmark contributions might not be bad either.
'get a free phoronix contributor account, two months ad-free for submitted benchmarks'.

Sadly that method wouldn't be too sustainable.

I wouldn't mind that at all (well, OS X benchmarking and such since no other OS X site really does that)

'niche'

but at this time I just have a Mac Mini and am very strapped for capital at the moment.

PTS is getting very, very easy to install and to use. I don't think it's going to be that much of a stretch.

'buy now' links at the end of reviews with referral tags in the URL may not be a bad place to start.

Companies should be paying phoronix to advertise for them by benchmarking and reviewing their products. When I look for new hardware to buy, this is where I'll be coming to find out what to go with.

Your captive audience would have to be much larger then what phoronix is presently for that to start happening.

I know where to find bargains.

Please do tell where you can get a server that can handle the traffic that this site gets as well as it's sister sites and handle project management efficiently with enough bandwidth that you are not paying overages, experiencing regular downtime, that isn't a shared server and has guaranteed bandwidth.

Crap resellers need not apply.

LOL $20 a month, you clearly have no idea of the costs running a high traffic site let alone a site that does hardware reviews which often means cash out of pocket.
