Hi,

I am a new hsoting company starting out and very interested in gaining 1-2 hosting companies to start me off. I would like these companies to have at least 25 customers each. I am willing to pay between $3-$6 per customer. Please contact on AIM at jdhstsupprt and we will tlak more.

Thanks,

Shawn

So your looking to buy 25 customers at $75-150? You may want to re-think that logic as that is rediculous. That means that you are offering (most likelly) to buy customers for less than what they probably generate in revenue in a single month.

As an FYI most sales of hosting companies on WHT net $1,000+ (usually several thousand). I doubt you will have any luck with this ad - so you may want to rethink your price.

Just my $0.02

Sorry JDHost but I must agree. I mean why would they sell a customer for so long when they earn that much from the customer in two weeks or usually less.

The rates are six months prepaid.

So say like one client is paying $10/month

That would be $60 for just one client.

I was wondering what the average "fair market value" was on buying out a client base. Thanks for posting that, Op3rator!

That would be $60 for just one client. That seems to be a minimum lately, too. I talked with a broker a while back and they see hosting companies selling from a range of 3-12 times the monthly revenues.

Buying customers is no laughing matter... You'd have to buy an entire domain (Instead of reselling off another company, where people can easily see you're offering higher prices) - and you have to be ready to give them top-notch support.

Instead of spending $600+, I'd suggest spending money on advertising... Ask around here, you can get some great deals for >$200.
