An individual is looking to sell a network of established SSL-enabled CGI proxy websites. The main domain, along with nine auxiliary domains, was registered in 2006 and has been consistently operational, maintaining stable search engine rankings and backlinks. These domains are configured with SSL certificates and support HTTPS protocol, with the system requiring no maintenance aside from optional customization. The setup includes a CGI proxy script backend on a Fedora Linux server, using Apache and SQUID for caching, without requiring a MySQL database. The hosting account costs $130 per month, with each domain having a unique IP address to give the appearance of being on different servers. The owner is selling due to a lack of time to maintain and develop the network further, as they wish to focus on other projects.
The network generates a monthly gross revenue of $350 solely from paid customer subscriptions, as there are no advertisements on the sites. Each subscription is priced at $5 per month, offering users unrestricted proxy access. The current customer base comprises 70 active subscribers, with an additional email list of 750 previous subscribers, allowing potential for effective email marketing campaigns. The combined traffic statistics for the websites report 17,500 unique visits and 35,000 page views monthly, with a page rank of 3 for most domains and a page rank of 4 for one notable domain.
