   What are the costs?

   There are no out of pocket costs. The third party support takes a commission before they pay you your monthly fees.

   The company is called ProperSupport and they take care of all the admin/technical support. We just signed up all of the clients
   and receive our monthly commissions. The value is in the passive revenue.

   Hi, interesting site.

   How did you get the paying customers you have now?
   And how would you recommend the new owner to get more paying customers?

   As previously stated the value is in the 58 clients that have already signed on with us. We use a third party hosting company, their servers and they provide all technical support. If you wanted to become your own reseller you could use their system too at resellerspanel.com

   They are an affiliate program that we have tried and tested. We are very happy with them. Again, the value is the passive income derived by the clients that have signed up with us already at innhosts.com.

   Please do not comment on this thread unless you are interested in bidding on our auction or have a legitimate question about what we are offering.
   Please see our attached screenshots showing upcoming income and past income.

   I don't see that the question about costs has yet been properly answered. None of us can evaluate the value of the business unless we have more detail. If it is commission-based, then you still have costs. Income = Revenue - Expense.

   Please let us know what the actual commission rate is - either that you are receiving, or that you are paying. Or what the monthly income is. We need more details to work off of.

   Happy to oblige lbeachmike -

   When I say there are no expenses, there are no out of pocket expenses to the third party hosting reseller (resellerspanel.com.

   We have one package set up for 157.80 USD annually. It is broken down $12.78 monthly, but is paid in one lump sum by clients each year.
   They charge us approximately $52 each month, which leaves 102.80 profit from each client each month. We include a free domain name as a loss
   leader. Most clients are very low maintenance, but if there are any issues there is terrific support through resellerspanel.com in terms of support tickets (longest response has been 2 hours) and they have telephone support.

   We have mentioned this several times in this thread and via pms, the value is in the loyal customers we have accumulated over the past 3+ years, not the hosting interface.They provide an excellent service, but anyone can set up a free account with them. It is collecting the right clients that have taken us so much time and effort.

   Keep the questions coming.

   1) What would happen to this investment if Resellerpanel went out of business?

   2) Are your clients automatically rebilled via credit card or paypal auto renewal? Or do they have to manually read a renewal notice and elect to take action on it when their hosting period is up?

    Hello drfuzzy,

    To answer your questions -
    1) What would happen to this investment if Resellerpanel went out of business?
    I did a ton of research before signing my clients up with Resellerpanel. They are very reputable and have been in business for more than 10 years and are doing quite well. Their services are debt free and additionally they are privately owned.

    2) Are your clients automatically rebilled via credit card or paypal auto renewal? Or do they have to manually read a renewal notice and elect to take action on it when their hosting period is up?
    No they get automatic renewal notices 45 days prior to expiration, 30 days, 15 days, etc. They have to renew with their credit card or Paypal otherwise their site goes down.

    Thanks

    Couple pms asking if I would stay on the help during transition. Tere is really nothing for new Owner to do, but collect the payments via Paypal or wore transfer. As soon as I receive payment I will change Owner credential, Paypal address and give you all login information so you can change pw etc to whatever you want.
