A file hosting and backup service is currently up for auction, featuring assets including a domain name valued at $52,000, a fully developed website worth over $26,000, comprehensive business walkthroughs, historical data, and marketing strategies. The seller is offering a 14-day operational support for the new owner. The company, established in 1999 and based in Los Angeles, focuses on technology-related ventures. The sale is prompted by the impending expiration of their current office lease, necessitating a move to a new location without a data center.
Potential buyers are invited to visit the data center, provided they give a 24-hour notice, present valid identification, and pay a $9 parking fee. The buyer will need to relocate the website and user data within 30 days of purchase and offer user support through a remote interface for up to one hour daily. Detailed sales, advertising data, and financial reports are available post-NDA.
The business generates revenue through membership sales and advertising, with daily income from various platforms totaling approximately $595. There is significant potential for additional income as 35% of incoming traffic is currently un-monetized. The site sees 150,000 unique visitors daily with over 500,000 daily impressions, driven entirely by word-of-mouth and referrals, as no SEO or advertising has been implemented. The potential for increased traffic and revenue can be realized through strategic SEO and marketing efforts.
