Description

StuffHost.net is a web service that offers quality free web hosting accounts to users worldwide. StuffHost.net currently serves nearly 3,500 members and receives roughly 30 new sign ups daily. Since the inception of the website, traffic has been continuing to grow and so has the generated revenue (see below for revenue details). Currently StuffHost.net receives 61,566 visitors monthly and serves 211,606 page views monthly. StuffHost.net uses the $50 XPanel free web hosting control panel script with several custom modifications of my own to increase revenue and traffic. The system is entirely automated and StuffHost.net requires little time to manage and maintain.

Why I Am Selling:
I currently manage three small online businesses and a multitude of other smaller websites. As a result, I do not feel that I can ideally develop/manage StuffHost.net with it's consistently growing traffic.

Post-Sale Benefits:
I always ensure that the buyers of my websites are satisfied with what they receive. As such, after the website has been sold, I plan to fully assist with the transfer process (i.e. helping the new owner become familiarized with the website, help the owner transfer the website to a new server, et cetera). I also plan to give a small website promotion guide written specifically for this website. This guide will ensure that the new website owner will be able to keep growing traffic levels during the transfer of owernship process.

This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to grow this site, monetize it further and turn a healthy profit. With current revenue standings, you should have your money made back within months.

As with all of my low BIN site auctions, this site will go FAST. Please contact me ASAP if you have any questions or wish to take the Buy-It-Now price. I am looking for a capable buyer and a smooth transaction. I reserve the right to opt for a lower bid if I feel the bidder will take better care of the website in the future.

Please feel free to send me any serious Buy It Now offers. I often accept discounted early BIN offers made by reputable bidders.

Revenue Details

Currently StuffHost.net is generating funds from ads sold through UbiquityAds.com. Over the past 30 days I have sold $40 worth of advertisements on StuffHost.net and $75 worth of direct traffic. Lastly, StuffHost.net earns roughly $40 a month through text links sales on various webmaster forums.

StuffHost.net has also provided me with an invaluable source of cross-promotions for my other websites and has allowed me to build up traffic on new sites very quickly. The new owner of StuffHost.net will easily be able to do the same.

    Hi ezytrak,

    Glad to hear you think the website looks clean and fresh--always nice to hear positive feedback :)

    Our free hosting service does not restrict what languages can be on the websites, so some websites are in Chinese. All the subdomains (including the one you've listed: rongmotamhon.stuffhost.net) are included in the sale. Those subdomains are the member pages that you can place advertisements on and earn revenue.

    Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!

    I've received many private messages with this same question, so I'll answer it here: advertisements can be run both on the main StuffHost.net home page and on user pages via a header and footer ads. The free web hosting system has the ability to force advertisements on to ALL member pages.

    My question is pretty simple.. What is your expenses each month??

    Sure you can bring in $155/month, but I imagine that the majority of that goes towards your colocation and/or dedicated server fee's?

    Hi PlatinumN23,

    If you check the current website stats page you will see that the total bandwidth consumption is less than 40GB a month. StuffHost.net can be hosted by ShawNetworks.com for $25 a month (this may increase as StuffHost.net grows); the account is currently paid through the end of August which means over two months free hosting. StuffHost.net is actually quite profitable and I believe that if the next owner spent more time on developing ideal monetization techniques, the website could earn much more than $155/month.

    Thanks for the question, please let me know if you have any others.

    This is a tasty site.

    I would need to see screen shots for the members. Including their IP's. Also, all sales revenue, and expenses. I am guessing you are processing through paypal?

    Also, what kind of contracts do you have? Is everything month to month on members, as well as your hosting and other expenses?

    When contacting me, please make sure to include this auction's url. Thanks

    Hi Barefootsies,

    While I would certainly like to provide you with the information you want on the subscribers of StuffHost.net, unfortunately our privacy policy prohibits us from doing so; we do not release personal identifying information about our members (e.g., IP addresses). However, if you're looking for generic demographic statistics about our subscribers, we can certainly provide that.

    The only expense for StuffHost.net is the $25 a month hosting fee explained in my previous post.

    There are no contracts with our members since we are providing a free hosting service and we do not receive or send payments for their patronage.

    Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
