[WTS] PiXhost.org, Image Hosting, PR4, Alexa Rank 4,006

This is image hosting service currently hosting more than 18k pictures. We just introduced new script last week with new function such as multi upload / remote upload / multi remote upload / multiply languages / new administration / and the most important - optimized much better than the previous script.
Whole script is custom coded.

We are selling it because we can't afford better hosting (7 TB traffic a month) and the current one isn't suitable for this anymore.

Site used to have 40k visits daily, it had 40k uniques at its best day. Fall was caused by bad script which collapsed after reaching 17k of hosted pictures.


It's not being monetized at the moment, used to earn around $20 daily with AdSense.

dnscoop estimated value of this site is $15,500
Alexa Rank: 4,006

Feel free to ask any question.

 

what is main traffic source ? If its from search engines then i will start with 1000$

 

Very Nice Imagehost. Good luck with the sale. Its kind of amazing seeing a site for sale on dp with that high of an alexa rank.

 

moneydude: dunno how exactly you would like to get traffic to imagehost from search engines :S

Probably the same way as any other website.

For example, people could search for:
"Free image host"

 

You say you are selling it because you can't afford better hosting. Why did you stop monetizing it when you use to make $20 daily? That way, you can afford better hosting. Please clarify...

 

how much current hosting cost? and how much space does ur site currently take up, i mite move it to my server

 

Please send referrals and possible places I could host it at. Interested. How did you promote it any costs doing that?

 

same plz

 

The screenshot shows lot of porn site referrals, as well as torrent. Can you explain? Did you advertise it there?

 

hehe i already got one site with even few thousand more visitors but yeah my traffic source are porn forums as well... thats why i want to get 1 site which traffic come from search engines =)

 

Search engines -> yeah, you can get a few ppl searching for it on Google, but you can get much more ppl just simply by uploading one picture and sharing it ...

Promoting -> me and and the second co-owner just used it to share our pictures and ppl were comming...

Monetizing -> we used Google AdSense, but they disabled their ads on this site because of adult pictures :/

Hosting -> can't say what would be costs or where to move it, we have currently deal with local (czech) hosting company and they provide us this hosting for free in exchage for their ad being shown on the site.

Size -> 5.5 GB all images, script and system (Debian 4.0)

Main reason to sell this site is that it already caused me many headaches and dreamless nights. Recoding the script was real pain in the ass. I want to focuss on projects which are easier to maintain now.

Hope I didn't skip any question.

 

I made a small research and these are hosting companies I would recommend to you:

link11.de (stooorage.com, I got one server there too)
keymachine.de (picfront.org)
ovh.net (imagebanana.com)

But the best would be if it was bought by somebody who already have his own server so he doesn't have additional charges.

Btw, the highest offer I received till now is $2,000.

 

Jeeez, I forgot to place Google Analytics script into the new script of PiXhost...

Fixed it.

Will post new traffic graph in a few days.
