Okay, we'll admit that GPF Premium isn't for everyone, and some folks don't have the spare change to buy anything in the Store or leave us a tip. That said, everyone these days are using referral codes to drum up traffic and expand their user base, which can be a win-win scenario for their existing users. So if you're looking for a way to help us out that isn't purely financial, feel free to scan this list and see if there's anything you might find useful. Each link takes you right to the service with our referral code embedded, while the descriptive text spells out exactly what we get in return. Some referrals benefit us a bit more than others, but all of them are definitely appreciated.

Linode (Virtual private server hosting)

Linode is "a VPS hosting company built upon one simple premise: provide the best possible tools and services to those that know what they need—better hosting." Linode provides powerful eight-core Xen-based Linux virtual hosts with your choice of distribution, full root and SSH access, dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, full DNS control, and much more, hosted from six data centers scattered across the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Linode has been GPF's webhost for 2 years and we can only provide a glowing, enthusiastic recommendation for their services.

If you are considering hosting and don't mind getting your hands dirty with Linux, you can sign up for a Linode account using our referral code. If you sign up using our code, we will receive a credit of $20.00 USD, so long as you remain an active customer for 90 days. $20 actually goes a significant way toward helping pay our server bill, so referrals are definitely welcome.

Wuala (Secure cloud storage)

Wuala is a secure cloud storage service developed by the folks at LaCie, the French external drive manufacturer. Wuala uses strong client-side encryption to securely store your data, ensuring that only you have access to your data, not them. We've used Wuala as an offsite backup solution for 2 years and make extensive use of their desktop and mobile clients.

Wuala users automatically start out with 5GB of free space, but additional space can be purchased or added via referrals. For every referral sign up, we receive an additional 1GB of space, up to a total of 10GB. If you give us a referral, you're helping us ensure GPF will be available to readers for years to come.
