looks good you have a nice site design ... why are you selling?


Chris

This post is misleading..
This is not a company for sale.
This is an Ebay auction for a plug-and-go hosting company... It doesn't even say that the website (HTML intelectual rights etc) are included...

April fools was some time ago...

The windows that comes on the server is a trial version, it can be easily switched to unix if you prefer, or something other than you supply

we come up with business ideas, and basically set everything up and sell them off.

yes, that html and all that you see there is included, not just the domains, but whatever pages you see on www.filepipe.com is included also, the logo, the header, etc etc

the windows version is a trial, that alone costs more than $3000 i think, thats why the price is only $999. Most people prefer unix anyway, so that is a possibility.

Also, if anyone needs Windows 2000 Server, then I could get it the cheapest possible, about $450US.

;)

Custom package has "You guessed it!!" UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH!!

:uzi: :laugh:

oh ya, and if anyone wants the the know the details:

basically, more ips are $5 for 14, the higher you go, the cheaper it gets, the max is 255.

for a speed test, goto ftp://albertacars.filepipe.net then goto /videos and grab that file, see how it goes.

the main ip is: 216.194.67.71 btw, maybe you wanna ping it.

:uzi: :laugh:

this means there is no restriction on how much you use in that package, but its $3.50 per gb.

guys, this whole site can be changed if you wish, you can make it whatever you want, but you'll probably want to keep the logos. ;) :cool:

hmm.. I am liking this less and less the more I think about it...
your auction says $2.50/GB your post said $3.50... I presume it must just be a typo...

This post is in the wrong forum, this is the Job offers and requests forum. Would you like to hire me to increase your sales? I could definately improve things for you as I see you could use a little help.

$2.50 /GB is for the buyer of the deal.
$3.50 /GB is a suggestion on how to sell it on what profit, its not how much the bandwidth will cost the host itself.

Could you please post more details concerning the business? Is the name reserved etc. etc.

Your site indicates that FilePipe (Filepipe™) and/or the FilePipe logo is trademarked.

Is this trademark included? I didn't get any results for "FilePipe" when doing a trademark search at http://www.uspto.gov/

correct, this is the way to make the money.

this item is located in canada, it is not necessary to trademark a name if you can prove you were the one using it first, and or there doesnt exist a similar name.

currently, it is not officially registered, but that might be an idea if you're serious about it, i think it costs 30 bucks or so.

oh and another thing, the server is brand new fyi. i have the original invoice if you need.

as a matter of fact, i will ship you the motherboard box, the retail cpu box with all warranties and invoices.

In Europe registering a trademark costs hundreds of Euro's so probably that is the same in the US. I can't imagine it only costs $30,- the almost every name would be a trademark.

i dont think its hundreds of dollars, i was reading about it on a website, also, i think theres a law for domains that support that anyway, getting a domain is a form of trademarking, at least in the .biz extension, but i think it applies to all.

Sometimes I just wished I lived in the US.

Yeah, sometimes I do too. However Canada has a lot to offer as well.

Filepipe... Do you have a website to your main operation?
Also, does this site recieve any traffic from the domain name itself? Do you have any stats running on it that I could look at?

Are there discounts offered for large amounts of bandwidth?
Its a lot to pay $2,500 for a terabyte of bandwitdh for example.
Even $250 for 100GB is not the best price.

It is about $400 to file a trademark or tradename in the US. That's if you do it yourself.

Getting a domain is a form of trademarking? On what planet???

here a quote:

Why choose .BIZ?
.BIZ is dedicated to the business community and an ideal alternative to the crowded .com space. With .BIZ you can get a great name and expand your online presence. Protect your company name, brand and trademark, too!

*sigh*

It doesn't mean that registering a .biz domain gives you a trademark. It means that by registering your business name as a .biz domain - you are preventing other companies from grabbing it from you...and possibly infringing on your company name, brand and trademark.

well where should it be? i thought this was the thread to put it in?

This thread should be in "Related Offers and Requests" as I mentioned before, it is not an offer to hire somebody, and you are not looking for work.

Chicken must be very busy these days...

oh, i think this is more along the lines of a job then a special offer.

I heard chicken passed in his boots acctually

and yeah related offers would be better. you are simply selling a supped up template is what it looks like

This is in _no_ way a job offer or request.
This is a sale of a well yes I suppose souped up template.
You are not paying somebody to do a job, and you are not asking somebody to pay you to do a job, you are selling a product.

ok, well i'm cool with wherever it goes. :cool:

also... some stuff worth mentioning:

the server does also come with a 52x cdrom, i just forgot to include that, its a usual standard

and

7 professionaly designed banners ready to go for advertising if you need, email (fp@filepipe.com) if you wish to see them. :stickout :D

great news for the potential buyer:

if you placed the slightest interest before, you might have more interest now...

$100 taken off the price.

:D

It is there now, but locked for bumping.

Just because it's a trademark (tm) does not mean it's registered. Registered (and approved by USPTO) use the (R) (r in a circle) mark. If you don't register it just use the tm sign. BTW, In a web services business, it is usually better to have a SM or registered SM (servicemark) as your providing a service not a product in most cases. :)

Wow, thanks for that info.. I didn't know all that.

Does anyone know if this is the same in Canada?

Yes, the same system is used in Canada. A trademark search usually starts at around $250 and can go up from there.
