Zeeblo.com

Long standing free cPanel webhost that was in need of some tlc recently, I have revamped the site and given it a fun outlook rather than the standard dull pro look.

Hosting over 200 accounts, although about 30 can be removed as they are not being used.

Signups are handled by moderators, the clientexec software managed the automation of signups but the use of coupon codes prevents spamming of the system or those signing up without being verified first.

Traffic stats for August so far(awstats):

Avg Daily: 330
Total unique: 2722
Total Visits: 8230
Hits: 381,000
Bandwidth: 1.3GB

Traffic has been consistent at the above levels throughout 2007.

Forum Stats:

Total Members: 419 (was over 1,000, cleared out non active)
Posts: 3,477
Threads: 761
Signups per day: 3

Advertising:

Google ads were bringing in $42 in July, then I tried the hostgator affiliate program which has made only 1 signup in August, but thats worth $50.

You will need at least 10GB of space and 30GB bandwidth to manage the current accounts.

Included Domains:

Zeeblo.com
Zeeblopro.com
Zeeblo.org
Zeeblo.info
myzeeblo.com

Licences:

Clientexec owned license
Vbulletin is leased so not transferable
two vbulletin skins are included also.
PSD of the logo is also included.

I can handle the move for you if you wish, but root access must be available to do so.

More info available to interested parties only, dont post otherwise.

BIN $500

 

has used your service about a year ago i think, i'm interested, but if i buy i dont get vbulletin license right?

 

no, the rules changed quite some time ago on leased Vb licenses, in that you cant transfer them, but you wont need to buy one until Nov 07 when it expires as I wont be using that particualr license again.

 

Can you please explain to me the business model? Where do you intend to earn the most money from a site like this? I'm interested, but I'm just not sure about the purpose. Doesn't this make you an official web host where you have to monitor what is hosted on each one of these accounts?

How much time does it take to manage this business?

 

Currently the money comes from clicks on ads within zeeblo.com, you do have to monitor whats hosted but thats easily done.

Time spent each day is a minium of 20 minutes, more if you choose.

The part I have not done is to come up with a way to place an ad on every account you offer hosting too, there are many ways, I just never did it.

 

i see there is another admin on the site...will he be staying to help out or will he be leaving?

 

There are a couple of them, they will stay, have been there before I took over the site. Good bunch of guys overall.

 

i see you started offering windows hosting as well ... has anyone started using this yet?

 

How about support? Do you outsource that or handle it yourself?

I mostly have experience with shared hosting. And although I have a ded. server of my own, I require support for higher level technical issues.

Since these accounts are free, how does it make sense to offer any at all based on the low revenues earned off of the ads currently?

 

I held back on windows hosting as I was going to sell site, I know a lot would not want to support it, however their was a good level of interest in it.

Support is provided only via the forum where members help each other, it works well, only involvement from me is if something goes wrong on the server, but thats rare. The mods do a good job.


Caligent, $50 in a month is enough to pay for hosting, you may choose other methods, the most ideal way is to put a system in place of placing ads on each users account, as I said previously there are various ways of doing this I just never got that far.

Zeeblo is a well known and trusted free host known for its support and uptime, adding ads to each account wont be frowned upon, people are more concered about having a stable host.

 

$400 offer received, but can you message me again on msn so I know who you are, went and shut the window by accident.

 

Up to $425 now, next offer gets it.

 

lol, I used to be the original owner/creator of Zeeblo around 2 years ago.

It's gone through alot of owners, but I'm glad it's still up.

Might think of taking it back.

Where are you currently hosted? Are you using a reseller?

 

Its in the UK within my rack in redbus at the moment being operated off a 20GB VDS.

 

Buyer pulled out at last minute becuase he could not rasie funds.

Reducing bin to $350 for quick sale..........

 

BIN reduced to $300

 

Do you have any proof of earnings ?.


Thanks

 

No, I cant seperate out the google earning, as I never set it up in its own zone, and the hostgator cash is pending for another 30ish days.

 

Ok Many Thanks ,

If you re thinking of dropping the BIN a few more times PM me

 

But you know you made $42 in July?
