The hosting business began as a hobby, initially serving friends and family through a reseller account before transitioning to a VPS setup. Over time, the business grew to offer paid hosting services, advertised both locally and on popular online hosting platforms. Currently, the enterprise manages hundreds of domains, cPanel hosting accounts, including some reseller customers, and approximately 30 unmanaged virtual private servers. The infrastructure is supported by two dedicated servers and two VPSs acting as DNS servers, covering TLDs such as .com, .net, .co.uk, and .cn.
The business maintains a secure setup by hosting its main website and billing/support system on a separate VPS. After completion of the sale, the new owner will gain full access to the WHMCS billing and support system. Customers primarily pay through PayPal but also use Credit/Debit Cards (via Stripe), Direct Debit (GoCardless), and Bank Transfer for one high-value client.
The business generates an estimated annual income of £9,604.98 GBP with detailed forecasts for different billing cycles. Monthly expenses total approximately £271.56 GBP, covering costs of dedicated servers, DNS servers, licenses for cPanel, DirectAdmin, Softaculous, and the WHMCS system. The owner suggests potential for increased income through offering additional services like server management and by enhancing promotion efforts. The sale of the business is driven by the owner's new career commitments, which limit available time. The seasoned owner offers assistance during the transition to a new owner, drawing on over a decade of industry experience. The owner is committed to responding to inquiries promptly.
