I'm looking to sell the following:

HostCommunity.com - $30,000

WebHostingMarket.com - $20,000

****************** - $15,000

HostRepository - $10,000



If you buy all of these names in a bundle I'll drop the full price to $60,000 instead of what it would be - $75,000.


Thanks :)

Matt Alland

i can honestly say, no one on this forum would pay that for those domains. there are multiple reasons, one being they are too cheap.

have you taken a look at what people want here? For you to sell a domain for $20K it would have to include:

24/7/365 support for the domain for 10 years
101% uptime gaurantee on their cable tv
In person support while they are on vacation India
- you must also be able to feed their dog in the US at the same time!
10 Car washes a day

um, what else am i missing. Oh you must be 100% redundant, be multi-headed.. or was it homed.. damn i forget!

Wow - $30,000 for WHT - that was an incredible bargain - it's worth an easy $250,000

I hope Matt got more than $30K

The domain names themselves aren't worth that much. So, in order for you to be requesting such a high amount, the websites should have a well established brand with a large user base.

People are not going to be so generous, unless they are fools.

Also, HostRepository dot what? (.com, .vu, .gs??)

he got WHT for way more then 30,000 more like 1.000.000 thats what i heard.

I heard he bought it from 2 guys for 1.000.000.00 USD (1 million)

I might be wrong , but thats what i heard

I somehow doubt it was that much, but I don't think any of us will really know. In the agreement they had, the actual amount of the sale/purchase was not to be disclosed to the public.

Also, what 2 guys? At the time is was just Matt himself that owned the forum, I believe?

$30,000 would be a steal, but $1million would be a pretty bad investment. Doesn't mean they didn't pay it though. Pretty sure WHT had only 1 owner prior to rackshack

yes matt f was the owner before rackshack took over.

How much do they make/charge for on the advertising? Anyone know? That would be a good indication of what the site was sold for.

I got a quote for a top ad about 2-3 months about it was 1500$ a month

and i think pinned topics are 50$

I'm also doing more than selling my domains here - I'm looking for a huge investment for HostCompare.com. I'm going to revolutionize the hosting and anyone who joins me will prosper! I'm searching for $2.3 Million in funding. Anyone interested in making their small investment?

Thanks :)

Not to get further off topic, but what could a hosting directory possibily use 2.3 mill for?

Pretty powerful claim "I'm going to revolutionize the hosting", exactly how do YOU plan on doing that? And what qualifications do you have?
For an investment of over 2 million, you better have one outstanding business model or a freaking awsome staff on hand ready to execute this.

When I posted this i was being unrealistic. I have big ideas though- but I apologize for my unrealistic nature at times. I'm only 19, so I'm learning as i go along.

Unrealistic might be an understatement. ;) I hope you've learned from this little topic that even the average WHTer isn't exactly naive. But good luck with those big ideas of your's.
