    Hi,

    I have a few questions before making my offer.

    1. Do you need a dedicated server for this? How much is server cost? I read somewhere that an arcade site need more CPU, RAM, and Bandwidth, and if you're receiving around 25,000 page views a day, which I think you are, you need a good dedicated server which can cost around $150-$300. I just want to estimate the profit I'm going to make first before purchasing the site. Because even though You're making roughly $550/month - $150 (server) = only $400/month. Just want to make sure before I make an offer.


    2.According to your images, you created a few channels for this site. Can you please post or PM another image without the channels and just the site name for January or February. I just want to confirm all the channels posted belong to your site.

    3.Will the links that link to this site stay?

    Uses GameScript: http://www.gamescript.net/

    Hi, I'm running this on a 280$/month server but with another site that uses 5x the resources. This could easily be run on a shared server for around 30$/month.

    I'll post a better channel picture and bandwidth pictures in a little bit.

    I don't think shared hosting will work for this site because when the traffic reach peak point everyday, it will slow down the server and they will shut your site down and make you upgrade (I'm speaking from past experience).

    This site probably need a dedicated server that cost at least $150/month.

    I'm just stating the facts before making an offer.

    Uses about 500gb/month.
    You can get that at hostgator: http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml for 5 to 13$/month. They're pretty good.

    Anyway I'll post the pictures once I get home.

    If you use shared hosting, Hostgator will shut your site down without telling you when you exceed their hidden limit. Hostgator shut down one of my sites a few times due to high usage of CPU and RAM. If you read hostgator TOS, it will said that even though they offer unlimited bandwidth, they have the rights to shut down your site without telling you if they feel you need to upgrade because you're using too much CPU and RAM. They usually shut down your site when you exceed 25% of CPU usage.

    Here is a link to their dedicated servers: http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated.shtml. Dedicated server is recommended for this site, otherwise you might face a lot of down time (happened to 1 of my sites and some of my pages were de-index by Google when my site was off-line for 2 days).

    Do you have any guarantee that this site will run well on a shared hosting account?

    $1200 here, but I think this will go for much more....:(

    One quick question, what happend here in January: http://www.buzzedgames.com/allltimestagts.jpg?

    I made the switch to dedicated and will never go back. It's worth the extra money to never worry about bandwidth, resources, etc. It can be expensive, but like I said, not a single headache since making the switch. There's never a guarantee with shared servers if you've got a semi-popular site.

    Man, He isn't selling you hosting service and its not possible for him to guarantee if a shared hosting would work for the site. You wouldn't want to limit yourself with a shared hosting account because you should be looking towards the future, not just the present. Shared hosting would hold you down for growth, so getting a dedicated server would be the ideal situation here and host other sites on it if needed in the mean time until it has grown enough...

    Nice site, good luck on the sell.

    _Zack

    I accept paypal but preferably check or wire transfer.

    All links will be treated like any other link exchange, you keep mine up, I keep yours up.

    Takes about an hour a week, that's finding games and putting them up ~18 games per week.

    Selling to invest the money into my other website http://www.dabontv.com/ and other ventures.

    Thanks Zack for making it clear. You're absolutely right about getting a dedicated server for this site.

    I'll bid $1500. I have another number in mind (the number is less than $5000).

    Thanks turmune, high bid is 1500$.

    I set it at 5,000 for reserve mainly because at the rate it's growing that's a pretty good deal. I have no problem keeping this and growing it but I'd rather invest a lot of money now and see what happens.

    Why do you need to put up new games? What if you don't do this?

    Also, how do you add new games?
