Description
Hello,
Up for sale here is our free hosting business, Free Unlimited Web.
http://www.freeunlimitedweb.com
The primary reason we are selling is because our Google AdSense account was recently disabled (due to a Proxy Network we run, absolutely nothing to do with FUW and the domain is not banned) and therefore will have difficulty making further revenue with it. All you need to do is add your AdSense code and you'll be ready to go.
We were making $5-20 per day from Google AdSense, it varied quite a lot. Additionally we made some extra revenue from clients paying for ad removals and account upgrades. Unfortunately I have no way of proving the revenue because the account is disabled so I can't access stats.
We currently have over 6500+ users and an active forum with 250+ users and almost 2000 posts. There is a lot of potential here and you cannot fail to make money.
There's about 390GB disk space used. Although I know for a fact there's a load of junk and backups etc which you can get rid of.
As for bandwidth - 2TB per month.
Existing server costs $178 per month and can be kept if you want.
Also the sale includes the LayeredPanel license and template. The vBulletin license for the forum is leased so not sure if we can transfer that or not. I think you can't sell it but can transfer it, in which case we will do so.
Payment via PayPal or MoneyBookers.
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

AdSense was on a seperate proxy network we ran which led to account being banned, not related to this. AdSense was being used on this project and made $5-20 per day, you can simply add your own.

Reserve is meant to be hidden correct? Confused as to why people are asking this.

1) Where is hosted now?
2) If I buy it we can arrange a transfer of the hosting account or not?Thanks

1) Where is hosted now?
>>> A dedicated server at SteadCom.
2) If I buy it we can arrange a transfer of the hosting account or not?
>>> The server can be transferred to you or alternatively you can transfer the data to one of your servers. It's your choice. I would probably keep the existing server though as it's very good value, well supported and will save quite a bit of hassle.

reserve isn't always meant to be hidden... it let's bidders know where realistic bidding begins so an interested party can start the "real" auction.

jeffro241 - It's not a hosting plan, it's an entire dedicated server. The server is Quadcore Xeon 3323 with 4GB RAM, 2 X 500GB hard drives and unmetered 10mbit. I doubt you will find this much cheaper.
jhf12 - OK, fair enough - the reserve is set at $1000.
Thanks.

At 6500+ users is worth at least $6000. Why this so low price ?

smartcmcpp - I'm not entirely sure it's worth $6000 but it is worth more than what it's being listed here for, I'm looking for a quick sale.

the 100,000 unique per month traffic, is that to your main site? or does it include visitors to your free hosted sites?

Hi, just some questions...
Can you give some example URLs of sites hosted by freeunlimitedweb.com please?
Do you have any PayPal screenshots or proof for the upgrade payments?
For LayeredPanel, is this version 2 that is currently out?
I noticed that your pages are in .jsp, isn't LayeredPanel a PHP script?
I can't see on Steadcom's website any dedicated server offering, do you have a link to this please?
Thanks.

"Can you give some example URLs of sites hosted by freeunlimitedweb.com please?"
http://freeunlimitedweb.com/sites.jsp
"Do you have any PayPal screenshots or proof for the upgrade payments?"
Unfortunately the payments were done via 2CheckOut which I don't use anymore.
"For LayeredPanel, is this version 2 that is currently out?"
Version 2.1, the latest version.
"I noticed that your pages are in .jsp, isn't LayeredPanel a PHP script?"
I'm not sure I actually know the answer to this, the main site runs off jsp pages.
"I can't see on Steadcom's website any dedicated server offering, do you have a link to this please?"
They no longer offer dedicated servers to the public, I have a special deal with them.
Thanks.
