Description
This auction was originally listed 5 days ago here.
http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/69069
24hours later someone used BIN to bid on it for $21000.00. A few hours later, I accepted the offer. However since then I have not been able to get a hold of the buyer. I waited 72 hours, and since he has not made any contact, I am re-listing it. It does not make sense that one will use BIN to purchase it and then promptly dissappear. I hope the person is alright. But I have to move on. I will run it for only 4 days as a lot of people are now familliar with the auction.
I have reduced the BIN to $18,000.
Thanks for your interest in purchasing my hosting business. I have put together the following information to help you decide.
AM I A HOSTING COMPANY?
Not really. I do mostly web Design. And I do also sell some of the websites I design on auctions like ebay. About 4 years ago, I decided to get a server and actually hosts my clients. It has been going very well. But it also means that I will have to be giving them support beyond the design part. I don't like that. so I decided that once I get up to about 100 clients I will sell them to hosting company. I have sold about 100 in 2006, 120, in 2007 and now I want to sell these 200
WHY I AM SELLING. I am currently selling because my daughter just graduated high school and I need money to send her off to college.
Quality of clients.
My websites are not cheap. If a client can afford to pay a $200.00 or more for a website, they can afford to host it for $5.95 a month. So these are quality customers that will stay with the buyer for a long time to come.
What kind of server ? :
The server is fully managed and leased. It is cpanel linux-Pentium 4, 2.8Ghz, CentOs 3X. 1g ram, 80g HD, and 80g backup Drive. 1500g bandwidth, cpanel/fantastico I pay $120.00 a month for it..
The NOC is in orlando Florida.
I leased it from scarabweb.com I pay month to month. There is no long term obligation. So you can move the whole clients into your own server if you so wish The billing system is whmcs - owned license, attached to the hosting domain.
Only one Hosting Plan
starter- $5.95 a monthSpace:300 meg spaceBandwidth- 5000 Most customers use less than 50 meg and less than 3000 meg bandwidth. currently I host about 220 paying clients and a handful of some family and personal sites. The server is about 80% full
Domains
Most of the domains are registered at Enom. I charge $15.00 a year for it and I pay $8.95 to enom.
.Whomever wins this, I will transfer those domains to their enom account if they have one. I also have another enom account I can give them if they don't have one
.If you have any questions, please PM me.
I am mostly looking for a quick sale. And It is cash and carry. Please no financing and no complicated financial arrangements.
Please note that if you do a BIN, I will have to talk to you before I accept your offer.Some people asked me if I will like to sell just the clients. The aswer is YES as long as you know how to move the sites. I am willing to pay for the server one etra month so you'll have plenty of time to move the sites

News groups, search engines and word of mouth. Right now my advertsing expense is zero.
I get about 30 new members a month. About one a day. -

how much time do you spend on support per week? what is % of non-paying customers? how much support will you provide after the sale? Are you willing to provide notarized statement of your earnings and willing to sign a non-compete? Sorry about the ton of questions. I'm just an interested buyer who wants to make sure everything is clear from the get go. I hope you understand.

Of course I understand. I will be surprise if you don't have questions.
If you send me a PM, I will give you access to the WHMCS - billing software so you can see all the billings, financials and statistics, I will sign a non-compete, I will give you as much support as you need after the sale. If you need notarized statement, yes I will get it for you. -
