    Ok i own http://unleashed.voisd.com - a general directory. Tbh i don't want it any more because i'd prefer to concentrate on my root domain niche directory http://www.voisd.com - so what should i do?

    The subdomain was easily getting between 700-1000 uniques each month in the first 4 months (this was when it was totally free) - although so saying i've done hardly any promotion towards the site.
    Site has 326 active links, 134 pending links and 230 categories.
    Site has a PR4 on the index page and on the first level categories as well as PR2 on submit, latest links and top hits.

    Should i?

    1) Just delete the subdomain and not bother trying to sell the site
    2) Sell off just the database with links (both approved and pending)
    3) By a unique domain, point the subdomain to that unique domain and then sell the entire database, site and domain (transferring everything to the buyers hosting).
    4) Upgrade from the current phpLD2.1 to phpLD3.0.6, do as #3 and point to a unique domain and also include a totally unique phpLD3.0.6 template with the general directory (which i'd be looking for a BIN of around $400).

    I've already recieved a purchase request for $200 to take the sub domain directory site as it is, although initially the buyer wants to keep it on the subdomain (which im not too happy about as i can't provide him with access to the database etc) - i basically want it taken completely off my hands!

    Any suggestions anyone?

    I suggest #3 Point the subdomain to the new domain and let soak for a little while until the next PR update.

    I would go with #3 and waiting a few more months for a bit of PR increase - I am sure you wouldn't want to sell it anymore by then :D

    Here is the solution

    you can also give your submitters another link in your sub domain so that many persons would flock

    That is you can say them you will also get a free link at this sub domain if you submit to the main domain

    Well, what you could do is;

    1. keep the directory where it is.
    2. export the DB and let the individual set it up on their hosting.
    3. have the individual allow access from your IP to his DB
    4. change host/user/db values
    5. done

    Everything will be fine, they can still maintain everything as usual while everything stays put.
