If you put a donation button through Paypal, I would make a yearly donation to InfinityFree.com.
I really appreciate the free service you offer to us.
Thank You!

InfinityFree is technically a for-profit business, so they don’t accept “donations” per se. However, if you upgrade to premium hosting through InfinityFree’s official referral links, they get a portion of the money earned on that as a commission.

That’s really kind from you,
Anyway They make profit from paid plans, So you can buy a paid plan for your donation.I think Infinity free doesn’t approve direct donations though.
Thank you!
Thank so much for your offer! But I’m not sure if I legally can accept donations.
I can’t find anything about how a business is supposed to accept donations regarding tax regulation. Businesses are supposed to get their income from selling things, which for us is mainly ad space.
Maybe we could do something like a “supporter” plan where you pay a small annual fee to get rid of ads for example.
In the mean time, you could support us by:
- Making sure your ad blocker is disabled on our website, panel and forum (if you’re using one).
- Purchasing an upgrade from iFastNet or Site.Pro. We get a kickback from that, so it also helps us.

Does it make any difference if the adverts are displayed or not if the person does not click on them anyway ?
Sorry for not understanding and for possibly asking this question before !

Yes. Advertising companies love to play the long game, getting you to know about a product so it’s in your mind, and you’re more likely to buy it later. So, they pay publishers based on the number of times their ads are viewed. They’ll usually pay even more for clicks than for views, but either way InfinityFree still makes money off of people who view advertisements.

So an advert hider instead of an advert blocker is what I need so that adverts are still loaded but are hidden but that probably wont work

Yes! Most advertising nowadays is selected and displayed based on their CPM: the cost per 1000 impressions.
A click does reward far, far more than an impression. But many people never click ads, so I think that most websites get more revenue from impressions than from clicks.
It won’t help.
Please consider the other side of the table too. Advertisers buy advertising space so that the people seeing them will engage with them.
A website owner “displaying” ads in such a way they are not actually displayed is fraud, because the advertiser aren’t getting what they paid for.
An ad hider extension would either force the ad networks to implement measures to detect these extensions so those views can get excluded from payment, or they would just accept that the ads they show generate less engagement than they would otherwise. And in case of the latter, it just means all ads generate less revenue.

…Which means they would lose half of the money the business budgeted? I don’t know, but it’s incomplete.

No sorry maybe I wasn’t clear, what I meant was as the person browsing that I need an advert hider client side so that I don’t see them but the adverts are still loaded and not blocked so that the website owner doesn’t lose any revenue
But it sounds complicated and probably wouldn’t work well

Whoops, that was part of a previous draft. It’s gone now.
Yes, that was clear to me. But advertisers don’t like fake/invalid traffic, and there is usually some subtraction in revenue from traffic that was determined invalid after the fact. Ads that are hidden through a custom browser extension might be subject to the same checks.
And if many people were to do that on a particular website, then it would definitely raise some eyebrows about what the website owner is doing there.
Also, ad networks already track whether an ad is viewed and not just loaded in, and how long it is viewed. So hiding the ads in such a way that it doesn’t look like they are hidden might be complicated.

The thing is personally I never ever want to see adverts
I have never and will never click on an advert and will never want to buy anything from an advert that is forced upon me
But that’s just me and I was thinking that there might be a way to have them load and function as normal so that the website owner doesn’t lose out but at the same time hide them by adding the hidden style or possibly the z-index so that they are under the main content

I will buy premium hosting as soon as I make money out of my website *fingers crossed *

It would have to be in a way that the advertising scripts wouldn’t be able to track that you were doing it. It’s probably not impossible, but it would likely be more difficult than you’re expecting. And if it became popular, the advertising companies would start trying to find a way around it.

nah u guys dont need to donate to infinityfree in anyway or any case because the owner behind this services do receive their monthly salary from ifastnet, if i was wrong then they can get money from user’s dat…i mean from advertise on the page, so u dont need to worry that this website is gonna disappear in the future
To be clear, admin does not receive a monthly salary from iFastNet, but he earns some percentage commission whenever a user upgrades to iFastNet premium hosting through InfinityFree’s affiliate links.

No. Noone ever needs to donate to anything. But infinity free offers a valuable service.
I can’t speak for everyone, but with a disabled wife, autistic kid and only 1 income, I can’t afford premium hosting. So if there were an option where I could pay a bit less to support a service I value, then I 100% would

I just realised that the price of premium hosting has been doubled. Now donation/supporter plan looks like a viable option to me.
