    Hey,
    I'm looking to purchase a hosting business with these requirements:

    • That has broke even/making a profit
    • Has paying monthly customers
    • Comes with server or reseller account
    • cPanel & WHM control panel
    • Cent OS operating system
    • Professional looking website

    I have $100 to spend, so drop me a PM with business's details.

    Thanks,
    Nexopedia :)

    That has broke even and earning income? for $100?

    I mean, even if a host breaks even at earning $300/month and makes $100 profit. Its worth a minimum of $1000

    You need to up your price. This is a hosting business, not a proxy network :)

    If you are interested in getting a pro design, automated billing system, w/cpanel/whm, ready to get cleints, with some marketing tips, w/ a reseller account PM ME.

    But, I'm sure the above3 don't fit your requirements.

    Web-Rocket.com is for sale. I have $5000 into the site. It was built by Web Rhino one of the leading site designers. It is fully custom coded and is fully automated. I will sell it for $3500 I have about only 15 customers due to lack of time anymore.

    I have another Host that Im building up now, we only have one client and arent even officially launched, but If I were to consider the design costs, the discount server I have got, and the cost of the lisences ( you need several ) I would never sell for less that $800

    Hosting is an expensive business, to be taken seriously. You won't succeed in the industry if you dont treat it as such ;)

    Ok, you need to actually think realisticly...cpanel ALONE costs $15/month, a whmcs license another $15/mo(or $230). A web design cost a MINIMUM of $150 for a custom design....Plus, setting up a hosting company takes many hours of work. Not to mention, getting the customers required costs money too. Hell, if I could get a hosting company breaking even on for $300 I would do it....

    Lol, we all would :)

    Dude, go to WHT, look around, chat, see for your self. As I said before, your not launching a proxy site or a free hosting business :) .

    When you launch a hosting business you should be thinking of 1K startup, and thats for a minor launch.

    Taken seriously, $10K startup, and 10K backup would lead you to success. Just speaking from personal experiance.

    Many others here feel the same way.

    I'm sorry, but I just don't see getting anything other than either 1 month of a small server or 1 custom design for $100.

    Are you sure we are talking about "hosting business" ???

    I would recommend to go to WHT and see the people who are selling there hosting businesses. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=97

    Lol....even my freehost sold for like $1300......I actually did see a hosting business that made $50/mo for $350 though....But thats before you deal with cpanel, and whmcs.....I'm starting a vps hosting company, and the design alone cost me $150...(plus the hypervm licenses, and whmcs license)

    I mean, I can make you a free web-host for $350 all inclusive(includes good template, installation, and afully automated backend) THe design will be like http://www.c0n.us, but with a custom logo. The hosting will only cost you $40/mo for 512mb burstable to 1gb ram, and 25gb scsi space(vps).

    lol....It will cost you over $300 to start one, since a reseller account cost $24/mo, and a custom design costs over $150. Plus since the cpanel hosting market is so saturated, advertising it costs money also.
