We truly love working to bring you the latest volcano and earthquake data from around the world. Maintaining our website and our free apps does require, however, considerable time and resources.
Every donation will be highly appreciated. If you find the information useful and would like to support our team in integrating further features and in upgrading our software, please make a donation.
Your benefits:
- get rid of ads
- faster page loads
- less bandwidth consumption

Why do we need your support?

The website gives access to a vast archive of millions of data records including volcanoes, earthquakes, news, images and other information.
Earthquakes cover almost all recorded earthquakes worldwide since 1900 as well as many older known historic quakes. Combined, it is likely one of the largest freely accessible data source on the internet.
The sheer amount of data results in billions of possible URL pages to view: for example, you can browse quakes for each day since 1900, each month, or any custom time span, any geographic location etc. Unfortunately, though, the internet is no longer only a place where human visitors search for information, but most traffic is now by robots, legitimate and malicious.
Our site is no exception: we increasingly observe spam and bot traffic that request valid or invalid urls and force us to put filters in place, that block bots and/or slow down the number of requests a single user is allowed to make within a certain time frame.
To keep the site accessible and as responsive as possible, but also free for all (i.e. not hiding its content behind paywalls), we need hardware upgrades from time to time, but also paid filtering mechanisms etc, all of which consumes a lot of time and money.
Users who have our upgrade app as well as users who donate to our project help us to keep the site alive!
One way would be the option to let users create accounts, but this would result in potential other security and privacy-related issues, which we decided to avoid altogether by not going this way. Instead, we implemented a fully anonymous way that provides priority access to users who have our upgrade app or website users who have donated to our project through the website. While we cannot guarantee it, under most circumstances this will also result in not getting any advertising.
Thank you!
