--END CSV---
As you can see, those are long term & premium clients
Resellers on 'flexible' terms: no upgrade since ~2010
We usually tell clients technical details in support tickets, you should be able to do the same
Web site maintenance for Client 16 is usually banning form spam IPs (client emails), no other work in recent years
Server:
Dual Intel 5620
72 GB RAM
4x1 TB SATA HD, RAID 10
20 TB data transfer
100mbps port
IPs: /29 + /27
Located at WebNX
Paid through Mar/26/2014
(about $224/mo incl. IPs)
Server runs Proxmox
VPS on server:
hosting VPS
client VPS
billing VPS
Server is fully setup and secured for/on all VPSes.
Full setup details will be provided to buyer.
Other:
Some clients have brought in PHP programming work from time to time, mods to WP themes, adding a menu to existitng site etc. (about 1k/year, though not always consistent)
If you are good at web design: clients have sometimes asked for web design, we have often refused
You could integrate the server/Proxmox/Hosting VPS and Hostbill for a fully automated billing/support/deployment system, that handles regular hosting clients as well as VPS clients (automatic deployment etc). This was the plan. but we lack the time. The server is only lightly utilized, 33% RAM, 25% disk, 1.7% BW committed- wihouth overselling. You'd have a good start.
Payment options:
Escrow
Bank certified check
Cash (if you live in New England, we could meet and do a full transfer)
You will need to sign a sale contract (paper).
If interested or if you have questions: please email hostsale2013@gmail.com and include your WHT username and a short description of your experience in the hosting business. You will receive a NDA.
