    --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.

    Servers or company?

    You'll likely lose at least one client.
