    I'm really sad to write this auction but I really really had to.

    http://tinyurl.com/2zhvbu

    I'm selling my hosting business due to change in my day job so by the beginning of Jan 2008 I will no longer have continuous daily access to the internet as I'm now because I will be changing my current day job (Net cafe operator) which was allowing me to be online 15 hours daily to work in desk work in a trading company so I won't be able to manage support for the company thus selling it.


    This 5 month old company has been growing rapidly and without spending a dime in marketing. my marketing technique was to give the current clients an excellent service so they refer more clients to me and that was the case to currently get to 73 active hosting accounts.

    The company now mainly depends on proxy hosting but I advice the buyer to focus into shared/reseller hosting because for sure it's more profitable but I didn't get much luck doing this.

    I host clients on 2 powerful servers.

    TE02
    Quad core Xeon 3220 + 4GB RAM (Softlayer DC through Zipservers.com)
    250GB HDD SCSI
    2000GB bandwidth on 100mbps port
    238$/Month (16 IP included) Next due date 30 Dec 2007


    TE03
    Core 2 Quad 6600 + 4GB RAM (FDC servers DC through Wdservers.com)
    500GB HDD Sata
    Unmetered bandwidth on 100mbps port
    269$/month (Unlimited IPs) Next due date 12 Jan 2008

    TE01 is my own personal VPS and won't be included in sale and it currently has the hosting company site on it and will be moved to TE02 after sale.

    Currently TE02 is almost empty server. 80% of the revenue comes from TE03 and this adds potential in much more revenue while you have that pwoerful server not being pushed into it's potential power.

    Domain


    PR 3 and Predicted PR 6

    http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction?domain=www.techentrance.com

    comes with .com/.net/.info all expire Dec 2010

    Traffic mainly from Digitalpoint forums and some other sites / Search engines

    Ranks # 6 for term "Proxy Hosting" in Google



    Site

    Design is 100% custom and unique with billing system integrated into design and you get it with full exclusive rights.



    Revenue.

    http://www.proxyniche.com/Tech01.jpg

    http://www.proxyniche.com/Tech02.jpg

    http://www.proxyniche.com/Tech03.jpg


    Total Yearly Income: $6208.01 (Without Dedicated IPs)
    Total Yearly Income: $6748.01 (With dedicated IPs)

    Monthly: $508.24 (58)
    Quarterly: $74.83 (7)
    Semi-Annually: $55.65 (2)
    Annually: $238.51 (6)

    I sell dedicated IP for 2$/month and almost every proxy hosting account uses a dedicated IP and they cost almost nothing for you.

    I was making much more revenue (extra 130$ per month) but I had a big downtime of 5 hours last month because of a stupid cpanel bug and that one affected me by losing many clients with a loss of monthly 130$ but I'm recovering from this now and numbers are coming up again.


    I use WHMCS (www.WHMCS.com) as billing system and I get it at a discounted price of 13.95$ monthly (Non branding license) means no back link in the client area while current price is ($18.95/Month) and I get it from licensepal.com with next due date at 17 Jan 2008 and you keep the recurring price of 13.95$ as long as license is active.

    Most of the due dates are on the beginning of the month but some are not. Invoices are issued 5 days before due date so you can get most of the coming payments by ending this sale early.

    Potential ?

    The company has potential in 2 ways.

    1- Free advertising at webmaster forums in DP and others.
    2- Paid ppc advertising with Google adwords or whatever.
    3- Current clients upgrading their packages.
    4- Affiliate program which wasn't officially launched but some clients used it and it only got 2 clients who didn't continue and thus their referrals didn't get paid.

    Current affiliate program is set to 10$ initial deposit and 25% recurring from every hosting account referred with 20$ payout level delayed with 30 days to avoid fraud and abuse so affiliate don't get paid until client spends 30 days with us and makes his 2nd payment.

    What will you get ?

    1- Hosting company domain in .com/.net/.info TLDs
    2- Site design with full rights.
    3- WHMCS license.
    4- 2 Servers.
    5- SSL certificate which expires 15 Oct 2008.

    Last thing I will be saying is that price won't be the only measurement. While I'm kinda forced to sell but I'll be picking the next hand for my clients because I charge high prices for proxy hosting since I promised a high quality service and it has to be kept like that so I may sell for someone with lower bid If I feel that he will keep the service at high standard and even improve it.


    Bidding starts at 2000$
    BIN is 4000$
    Sale ends 7 days from now or BIN offer.

    Payment method. Escrow.com (We split fees) or Direct wire Transfer (I pay all fees).

    My Digitalpoint profile is 16 months old with 100% positive 81 feedback points so you can make sure I'm legit.

    Do we actually get the servers or do you keep them and just provide them for our use?

    You can PM me any time to get my MSN ID and have a chat together and see how it goes


    PM me your payment schedule and guarantee that I'm get my future payments and we will see.


    Payment screen shots are posted already. not sure about clients proof - I can't show names/emails of clients so don't really know what to show in such screen shot but you can read my sale thread and you will know that I have a good client base.

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=458456

    Income is gross income.

    What kind of info exactly ? numbers are shown in the above screen shot and the revenue break out is listed as well

    Monthly: $508.24 (58)
    Quarterly: $74.83 (7)
    Semi-Annually: $55.65 (2)
    Annually: $238.51 (6)


    I don't own the servers. I rent them so you will continue using them or change them. whatever you see right for you but I will hand you the servers details and contact the companies to move them to your account.

    If anyone has any questions please ask.


    Listed on site point as well

    Currently no affiliates - but the affiliate program which is integrated into the billing system puts a big potential for the income.

    No connection with proxyniche.com - I just own that site and uploaded the screen shots there but ProxyNiche.com is not included in this sale.

    Thanks

    Have you advertised this anywhere else other than DP and received a great response?
    Just wanted to know as it builds up potential clients much faster.

    No I didn't try advertising it other than DP

    Maybe a single thread in a forum that I don't even remember it's name - maybe namepros or vn7 can't remember.

    But I was focusing on DP. this gives the new owner more potential in marketing it in new places.

    The affiliate program in the billing system can help with this as well so the company name shows up in sites and forums that the owner can't reach.

    the unused server will help in expanding as well.

    The auction has been canceled few days ago and I reported this auction on DP to be closed but mods didn't close it yet

    So it's not for sale anymore

    Thanks for your interest though :)
