    Hi DPers,

    Since I received an email with a proposal, I decided to put on sale one of my dreams.
    I don't have time, I had many delusions and really I still don't have time to setup a new VPS and to check every new account so I decided to see if it is worth to sell it.

    The domain name is going to expire at the end of april 2010 but it's set for auto-renew, and I will renew it if no one is interested.

    The website is VisyHost.com, I was really unlucky with it but people loved the service when it was working. Then hacking, one of forum admin decided to betray me, a previous vps provider disappeared without any notice, I tried to start it up again and I was using a reseller account to host it but, the provider decided to close it because I found on his server an hole, I asked him if he wanted me to fix it and instead of saying yes, decided to label me as hacker -> terminating the account.

    So I decided to put an advertisement saying what happened, I was going to buy a new VPS but due familiar and personal issues I cannot continue. No time for it.

    My possibilites are: having it as memory or sell it.

    The website, tweaked shopping page, and forum (eztown.net) are working and have a discrete Alexa ranking, people still search on google "eztown signup code" or "visyhost signup code". Also if it's closed since long time have a look at the screenshot of visits for march 2010:

    You just need to move everything in a VPS, setting up the shopping page and starting to advertise the re-opening.

    In last few days I also installed adsense but don't ask for incomes because actually there's no income and I never used to show advertisements.

    Feel free for questions, only via PM but for clarification I will publicly post here.

    7 days, only via PM. I will announce the winner, if any, here.

    Thanks.

    P.s.: eztown.net is included.

    Good question: I don't know :) That's why I am waiting for offers.

    I want to clarify something: After the closing of the account, no users are registering (I closed the signup) - I receive tons of request to re-open that's why I am trying to decide what to do: closing and having those domains as memory of an hobby or giving it to someone who is really willing to keep it up and working good.

    The email that I received was of someone who wanted to buy it to divert all the visitors to his paid hosting, so if someone want to do this kind of deals with me can also avoid to PM me. I want someone who will run it. Running a free hosting is not a simple walk: is passion, willing of doing something useful.

    Again, due to personal and familiar problems I cannot spend too much time on it.

    I forgot to tell also something else, VisyHost.com is also VisyBlog.com, a free wordpress blog hosting. Same story of the others.
