Description

To make time for other projects I have decided to see off my free/paid web host, CorvusHosting.
CorvusHosting is a cPanel host that offers both free and paid hosting options. Free hosting is not based on a post-2-host system; anyone can signup provided that they supply a justified reason why they need free hosting and that the order can pass a Maxmind fraud check. I have not been taking new free signups since last December because I don't have the time to verify new accounts and provide support.
There are currently 200 active accounts including 2 paid accounts and a handful of domain registrations with an estimated annual income of $312.93.
The site also has a fairly inactive vBulletin forum running a paid style and also vbAdvanced CMS. The vBulletin and BigRed style licenses will be INCLUDED if the bid reaches $400. The client control panel is WHMCS which is an OWNED/Branding-Free license which will be INCLUDED if the bid reaches $750.
Domain Registration is done through DirectI; I will be including the $7.99 reseller account that contains the domains which were registered through WHMCS as well.
Everything is hosted on a colo4jax server which can be taken over if desired since I have moved all of my projects to our in-house data center. If you wish to move the sites to your server,I would be happy to provide root access to facilitate easy WHM account transfers.
With the 200 client sites the server is extremely underutilized, if you want to take it over the specs are:
* Core2Quad 2.4 Ghz
* 2 x 160GB HD (Files on Primary Drive / MySQL on Secondary)
* 2GB RAM
* 1500 GB in + 1500 GB out
* cPanel/WHM
* Also includes license for WHM Error Pages
Cost is $180/month. Colo4Jax has been an excellent, reliable hosting partner with great support. You don't have to take over the server, you can move the clients to yours! Buyer will have until April 15th to move the sites.
Auction Summary:
* Free/Paid cPanel Web Hosting
* 200 Client Sites Hosted
* 8 Paid Client Domains
* $7.99 domain reseller account included!
* Option to take over server instead of moving client accounts.
There are several domains included with the sale:
* corvushosting.com PR2 GoDaddy; Expires 08/26/2009
* websitebooth.com PR2 Namecheap; Expires 09/16/2009
* corvushosting.info PR0 GoDaddy; Expires 9/1/2008
Just to recap, software licenses included:
* vBulletin (With $400+ bid)
* BigRed Skin for vBulletin (With $400+ bid)
* WHMCS Owned w/ Branding-Free (With $750 bid)
Revenue is strictly from paid hosting and domain registration. The new owner could very easily increase revenue by placing advertisements on client sites.
Minimum bid is $50
There is no reserve!!
Auction ends 4/14 @ 10am EST.
BIN is $900
Payment is via PayPal or Escrow.com (at buyers expense)
Please PM any questions.

Revenue Details

Currently the site is not monetized well at all. A few google ads are located on our main site. Our primary source of revenue is through paid plans and domain registrations. We currently do not place ads on client sites.

 

The winning buyer could make a lot of money by running ads on sites hosted for free and also by monetizing 404 error pages. A license for WHMEPM (WHM Error Page Manager) will let you force all sites to use custom error pages which can display your ads.

Traffic Details

Not sure actually, but I do know there are several links in forums. When I was taking free signups I was getting 12-22 every day.
