If you have been an active Internet user for more than 15 years, you must have noticed how the web has changed.
Many of your favorite blogs and websites have either been shutdown (opensource.com, AnandTech etc) or sold to larger media houses (How To Geek, XDA, Tom's Hardware etc).
They are called 'digital Goliath' and the Davids (like It's FOSS) have to compete with their vast resources.
We have resisted takeover offers in the past and we are resisting it even today. The content we create here is born out of passion for Linux and open source, and we'll continue creating content which is meant for you, not for search engines.
And this is where you can help us by opting for a Plus membership. The membership is an indicator of your trust in us and your love and support for the work we do.
While It's FOSS Plus membership costs just $2 per month (less than the cost of a burger), not everyone can/want recurring payment.
And that's why we have something special for you.
Behold Lifetime Membership
Now you can be an It's FOSS supporter forever with a single payment.
Instead of $24 per year or $50 per year, you pay $̶9̶9̶ ($76) once and get a lifetime Premium membership of It's FOSS.
Benefits include:
Ad free browsing on itsfoss.com and news.itsfoss.com
Plus member badge in the comment sections
Anything we create or offer to our Plus members in the future
Supporting us in creating more content and thus helping the desktop Linux community
💡
The Tuxmas lifetime offer has ended. The lifetime membership reverts to original $99 price tag.
How to get the lifetime Plus membership?
It's a manual process. You make the payment and then notify me. I manually enable your lifetime membership.
And then, please send a mail to [email protected] with the PayPal transaction number or email address and the email address you use for It's FOSS membership.
Alternatively, you can also fill up this form.
Please allow me a few hours to process your request. We might not be in the same time zone and when your message arrives, I might be in bed. I'll attend to your submissions at the earliest.
But I am already a Plus member
If you already have a recurring subscription that was made in the last six months, you get an additional $24 discount and pay just $52. You should mention this in your membership form above.
Why this lifetime membership plan?
Because not everyone likes a recurring subscription. Personally, I always prefer a lifetime subscription given that it is reasonably priced.
You may have a good budget currently, but not in the future (I hope that never happens to you).
Occasionally, your card will not work and this creates an additional pain.
You pay once and you future-proof yourself from price increases.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy Tuxmas with FOSS 🎅
