Subscription Service

Ventoy is an open source software under GPLv3 license. But the Ventoy project needs to pay for the server hosting, domain name, bandwidth, many USB sticks for testing, large capacity of HDD (for downloading ISO files) and so on.
For the better and sustainable development of Ventoy, I provide the 【subscription service】.
