Small shared hosting business for sale.


I've decided to sell my small shared hosting business because of getting a new job. There are only 7 clients, all of which are on annual payments except for one. A reseller hosting account, custom website, and .com/.net/.org domain names are included in the sale. I'm not interested in selling the clients only.

Client 1: $89.50 per year, renews on 12/08/2011.
Client 2: $39.50 per year, renews on 12/07/2011.
Client 3: $49.50 per year, renews on 09/27/2011.
Client 4: $39.50 per year, renews on 06/27/2011.
Client 5: $39.50 per year, renews on 05/18/2011.
Client 6: $39.50 per year, renews on 03/26/2011.
Client 7: $5.95 per month

All clients are hosted on a $24.95/m reseller account at Hostgator, which includes:

- 50GB Disk Space
- 500GB Bandwidth
- Unlimited Domains
- WHMCS License
- cPanel

I think this would be a great opportunity for someone wanting to get into the hosting business. If you have questions or for more information, please contact hostforsale33@gmail.com.

My reserve is $500.00 and I will end the auction on Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 12:00 pm ET.

how long have all these clients been with you. what sort of bandwidth do they use, how many support tickets each month

on price. so annual income is only 368 a year but you want as a minimum bid effectively 1.5 times the annual revenue espcially when you consider that your costs a year are basically 300 which only leaves a profit of 68 a year.

of course profit will be increased by people moving the clients to their own infrastructure but ...

i am not sure this is that realistic reserve. i could be proven wrong though

The client with monthly payment has been with me since June 2010. One of the clients with annual payment has been with me 1 year this month, the others are approaching 1 year, based on their renewal date. There have only been 3 or 4 support tickets in the past year.

Client 1 uses the most bandwidth - 740 MB (Feb) and the most disk space - 581 MB.

Again, a complete website and three domain names are included in the sale. With some advertising, the business could easily grow.

Hello ,

You have mentioned "WHMCS License" but as far as i know Hostgator provides free WHMCS .


is it an own license ? have you paid for that ? is it possible to transfer the license ?
