About us
This website has born nearly the end of 2007 from an idea of Davide V. aka FunGt, an italian Computer Engineer. I wanted to create a website focused only on GTA modding, so I started to build my website on a free domain space provided by Altervista.org, an italian website that offers free third level domains. Once the layout and the contents were created I decided to move on my own domain and I officially registered www.GTA-Modding.it on November 9th of 2007. The beginning goal of the website was only about containing italian tutorials about GTA modding, because I wanted to share my knowledge that I obtained after years of tweaks and tests. So I started to write down a lot of tutorials, but I had not expected a problem: I needed a download area to contain all the modding programs and tools, divided by categories. So I installed PafileDB to create a file database and I uploaded all the most important programs. Then I made a forum to let people ask me questions, but at the beginning it was not so active... maybe my tutorials were clear enough. To increase the traffic of the website I advertised it a bit on the most famous italian GTA website, such as GTA-Series.com and GTANetwork.it, I have to thank them a lot for that! As time goes by I made a lot of tutorials and the download area became even bigger and I decided to add also some informations about GTA multiplayer. With the big help of El Presy, Talco, and in particular Abe90 the website became beautiful on every aspect. When I noticed that the download area recieved a lot of visits, I decided to upload there also other kinds of mods, such as cars, maps, etc. But I didn't want to create a very big download area with any kind of mod of any quality, so I uploaded only the best mods that I find through the big modding websites. With GTAIV official launch the website increased its traffic a lot thanks to the tutorials I made to mod the new GTA and thanks to the first mods published. GTA-Modding.it became in these years the first resource for Grand Theft Auto modding and it is in the first position on Google Italia with "gta modding" query.
Around 2012 I decided to make the website international to gain even more traffic from other countries. So on August 16th I registered www.GTA-Modding.com domain. I started to translate all the tutorials to make them in english and I edited a bit the overall website layout to make it better. And here we are... let's see what this website will be in future, with GTA V!
