The owner of a website is looking to sell their online directory and related domains, while maintaining the PHPFOX license and content for personal use elsewhere. The site, which started as a PHPFOX Social platform in 2012, has a history involving several platform changes and failed sell attempts, including a cancelled sale due to low traffic. The owner utilizes a hosting service that doesn’t incur additional costs, and they are willing to transfer the domains through a budget domain service without losing value. They intend to accept payments via PayPal or escrow services, with the seller covering any escrow fees. The package includes several ancillary domains, enhancing the offer.
The sale is driven by personal circumstances, specifically the need to accommodate changes required for the family. The owner wants to use the sale proceeds for their two children, who have special needs. Despite the owner’s technical ability to manage websites and servers, they struggled with SEO and monetization, which led to this decision. The site offers various services, including online directory information, advertising dissemination, hosting online web facilities, and providing search engines. Additionally, it features entertainment services such as interactive games and information about online computer games. Traffic data is hosted on a popular hosting service, and more specific analytics are available through linked resources.
The owner aspires to find a buyer who can capitalize on the site's potential, which they were unable to monetize effectively. The domains bundled with the sale are an additional incentive for prospective buyers.
