    What do we sell?
    Shared/Reseller cPanel Hosting + Dedicated hosting provider.

    How are shared and reseller accounts hosted?
    Currently hosted on:
    - i7 Intel Core 920
    - 8gb DDR3 RAM
    - 2x 500gb Drives in Raid-1 Hardware
    - 500gb Backup Drive

    Are you a registered company?
    We are a Sole Proprietorship, and since we are getting bigger it was advised I became an LLC which is one of the main reasons I am selling the company as I don’t want to have to deal with all that and the extra workload.

    What is the reason you are selling the company?
    Like stated above, becoming an LLC and also another main reason is because I now run a VPS company which I find a lot more interesting. I like building companies up so now that this company is built up and has its workload which is more than I can now handle I am just looking to sell it off to a person who has the time to put into it.

    How much time do you put into the company each day?
    The techs that work for the company are pretty well self-managed, you don’t need to babysit them all that much so you don’t need to spend all that much time. I probably put an hour-two a day into the company in increments. If someone were to put more time in and market it more you would see much better sales and results.

    Where do you advertise?
    Right now I only advertise on Webhostingtalk.com which is a pity as this company could sky rocket with just some decent marketing done.

    I think I'm missing something. You say: Brings In $60,000 A Year but then you provide sales figures that are way less than that:
    2009: $14363.11 USD (Only counted for 9 months out of the year (when we started using WHMCS))
    2010: $29764.29 USD

    Is the $60K just a projection based on the January/Feb sales figures?

    You have less customers (from your WHMCS income projection) than previously at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=976588
    yet the count of services appears the same ?

    Was the issue of selling VPS as "dedicated servers" resolved - if so, please send over an NDA for review to acquisitions [at] othellotech.net

    In 2010 we brought in $30,000. In 2011 we plan to bring in $60,000+. We have doubled our income from 2009 to 2010. We plan to do the same thing in 2011. As of right now (2/25) we have brought in $12,000. $7,000 of that is profit. I think that alone says enough. We have proven paypal sheets to show it too.

    Hello,

    Would you be interested in selling the business with the shared/reseller accounts and you keep the vps and dedi clients for your new business? If so, what would the BIN be?
