A small ad server for small georgian newsrooms

This is a self-hosted banner ad server built for regional media outlets in Georgia. It exists because the established options — Revive Adserver, and OpenX before it — are built for ad networks with staff to run them. A newsroom of four people running on shared cPanel hosting needs something else.

The whole system is 19 PHP files and 8 database tables. There is no build step, no package manager, and no queue. You upload it over FTP, import one SQL file, and fill in three database constants. Publishers embed a single sandboxed iframe and never touch it again.

Serving a banner runs one read query and writes nothing — impressions are recorded by a separate beacon after the banner has already rendered, so a slow database never delays the publisher's page. Clicks resolve their destination from the database rather than the URL, which rules out open redirects. Two nightly cron jobs roll raw logs into daily totals and clear what's left.
