Discussion in 'Sites' started by handeyman, Jul 26, 2006.

  1. #1
    URL: HostFilez.com
    Established: 6 April 2006
    Traffic Details: Traffic Stats
    http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=hostfilez.com
    Monthly Revenue: $170
    PageRank: 4
    Expiration Date: 4/6/2007
    Registrar: godaddy.com
    Type of site: File Upload site.

    Description:

    This site is using a free upload script however it is heavily modified with many extra features! The design is custom. I had a contest on namepros for the header. I spend maybe 10 minutes a day working on the site. It promotes itself through people posting links to there files.
    Currently hosting 1182 files. 16761.57 MB Total!

    Site Features:

    Secure upload system
    - Stores files in a protected folder without filenames
    - Prevents users from executing scripts like php files (even if a user uploads a php script or html file, it gets downloaded like any other download)
    - Options to limit uploaders and downloader’s from uploading or downloading more than once every x minutes
    - Option to let users upload/download small files without being limit
    - File size limit
    - File reporting system allows users to report illegal files
    - Admin panel with options to delete files, see how much bandwidth they have used, and ban reported files, preventing them from being uploaded again (even if they have a different file name!)
    - Option to only allow certain file types
    - Timer on download page
    - Fully (and easily) customizable!
    No Mysql needed…
    It also created a list of all uploaded files for your users to see, however I have disable this feature for privacy, it can easily be enabled.
    I have added a support forum using the free forum software Mybb
    Terms, FAQ
    …


    Revenue Details:

    I was using Google adsense however all of my sites were on this account so I do not know the exact revenue from that now I have switched this site to YPN, so I included those stats. This site has the potential to make much more, however I have not put any pop ups on the site, or sold text links, with this type of site you can add many adds. You do not need to keep the current affiliates.

    Hosting

    Currently I have all my sites hosted on a unmetered dedicated server, You can keep the site on for a month or two however it must be moved eventually. The site goes through about 200gb monthly. The server I have costs me $150 a month through quickpacket, however this runs all my sites. I believe you can find cheaper hosting such as VPS.

    Reason for selling

    I have many other projects I would like to start working on, and to be honest I am just bored with this site, I'm sure with the proper owner, this site can grow much more. I prefer payment of paypal, its actually the only thing I have worked with, but I might be open to other payments.

    Legality

    We do get the occasional notice for an illegal file, I remove the file as soon as I get the email and have not had any problems.

    I do no have a price set in mind, just put offers out :)

    I'll bid $200 as profit is really only $20 /mo ($170 minus $150 server costs).

    Way to low sorry, profits are more than that, as I said that is my server cost with many sites, anyone can run the site for much cheaper, all you need is a VPS plan with 500gb and 20gb of storage. Infact you could even go with 10gb per month, if you deleted some of the old files.
    https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/virtual.asp?se=+&ci=466&display=virtual
    Also I will host the site for a month free, untill you can get it switched over. So when you look at your way, you would be making up to $150 a month profit, more with popups.

    But thank you for your bid and interest :)

    No paid advirtising, I link the site from my other sites techtakeover.com, arimannis.com, which I will continue to do even after sold, and promoted the site when it was first released throught various forums by posting links to files hosted on the site, rite now the site promotes itself, from users posting links to there files, on forums, family, friends...

    Hi,

    I'm interested.

    How much do you think you were making with adsense?
    Can you show some screenshots of the back end?

    Thanks,
    messa
