How To Install Revive Adserver (OpenX) In 10 Minutes

By Ryan Gray on May 20, 2015 2

How To Install Revive Adserver (OpenX) In 10 Minutes

The Revive Adserver enables publishers, ad network, and advertisers the ability to serve ads on websites, in apps, and in video players while collecting detailed statistics about impressions, clicks, and conversions.

This is a must have if you’re serving ads on your website or purchasing ads on other sites. The best part about the Revive Adserver is that it’s free and open source.  Using our Managed Cloud Hosting you don’t have to worry about buying a tedious dedicated server or VPS.  We can help you manage all your traffic!

Since we’ve already optimized our platform for this software you can have your Revive Adserver setup and installed in under 10 minutes.  Here’s a brief video tutorial on exactly how to do so:

This is much easier and cost effective than going with one of the expensive solutions out there. I personally like the fact that it is self hosted and only my team can see the data. You never know where there is going to be a shark in the water – I always prefer to keep my stuff private.

Feel free to ask any questions below or let us know if you need help setting up your adserver. We look forward to serving you!

      Unfortunately, since it’s free and open source, Google won’t certify it. This is how companies get away with selling their ad servers for big bucks.

      From the official Revive Adserver website:

      Has Revive Adserver been certified?
      Revive Adserver is a software package that anyone can download and then host on their own server(s). As such, certifying organisations like the IAB, or companies like Google with the 3rd party ad server certification program, are unable to certify the software itself. After all, even if the software is very good (and we believe it is), it is possible to implement it very badly and still end up with an unreliable ad server application.

      Individual implementations of Revive Adserver can be certified, and there are many known cases where this has been successful. For example, Platform IQ, the company owned by Revive Adserver team member Erik Geurts, hosts a video ad server implementation based on Revive Adserver and the commercially available VAST2 plugin VidiX. This implementation has been certified by Google for their “VAST InStream” requirements, allowing the pre-roll video advertisements to be displayed on YouTube. Google calls this a 3PAS (third party ad server) certification.
