>BiAnnual Accounts: [20 accounts] ($380.00)
>Annual Accounts: [86 accounts] ($3810.00)

Can you provide a breakdown of these by Month please - i.e. How many will be due for renewal of service in Jan/Feb/Mar etc
As these clients will have paid you, but the new host will have to provide the service, these are effectively a liability.

What plans do these cover (disk, tarnsfer, emails, dbs, domains, lists etc) as their potential value obviously varies depending on what resources you sold them and at what price

>My hosting company is currently selling some of its client base in an effort to downsize.

Do the clients know they are being sold off ? Wht those accounts particularly ? Is that all of the BiAnnuals/Annuals ?

>include reseller accounts

How many, what do you allow the resellers to sell - shell ? overselling ? your plans only ?

>Nothing else is included in this sale. Just the clients

You should inform the clients that you will be forcing some downtime on them and some "work" as nameservers etc will need changing and propogation if you're not also selling the domain names used, servers etc.

>Please post your questions here for everyone to read.


Did the hosting to these clients also include domain registration ? Free or at what cost ? with what registrar ?

Where are the server(s) they are hosted on ?

How quickly were you looking to move the clients ?

Have you considered selling off the entire clientbase rather than a peice ?

Thanks

Is there a reason why you are downsizing?

[PBFerrigan]

Thank you for your question.

Not particuluarly. I recently acquired this busiess and am stramlining my financial income into a monthly cycle.


Thank you all for your questions and emails. I will be out of my office today and will be responding tonight.

Peter,

Still waiting to hear from you......

[PBFerrigan]

Thank you for your patience, and I very much apologize for the delay. I am taking the time to properly put together all the information that is required for a successful sale.

-Peter Ferrigan

[PBFerrigan]

Thank you all for your patience as I put together the details of the clients for sale. I have compiled all the information into one excel file which is available for download here:

Download Excel File

In this file I have included a complete breakdown of client information. The only information I left out are the domain names which I would prefer to keep undisclosed. If you are really interested I can send you a few for your reference.

Here are the answers to the questions I have been received:

1. "How many will be due for renewal of service in Jan/Feb/Mar etc"
>Please see the excel spreadsheet.

2. "Do the clients know they are being sold off ? Wht those accounts particularly ? Is that all of the BiAnnuals/Annuals ?"
>No I have not informed them of sale, I will leave this up to the new owner.
>These are all of the annual and biannual clients, I would like to make the shift to a more fluid monthyl income.

3. "How many, what do you allow the resellers to sell - shell ? overselling ? your plans only ?"
>I have different reseller plans that are limited in space and bandwidth. You may view the complete list of reseller plans here.

4. "You should inform the clients that you will be forcing some downtime on them and some "work" as nameservers etc will need changing and propogation if you're not also selling the domain names used, servers etc."
>Thank you, I really appreciate this advice. I will need the help of the new owner to make the transfer as quick as possible.


5. "Did the hosting to these clients also include domain registration ? Free or at what cost ? with what registrar ?"
>Some of the clients did choose to purchase their domains through me. Here is a list of the prices we charge. I will have to get back to you on the registrar as my partner was in charge of this.

6. "Where are the server(s) they are hosted on ?"
> The servers are located in the UK and the clients are based out of both the US and UK.

7. "How quickly were you looking to move the clients ?"
> The auction will end in 48 hours from this post.

8. "Have you considered selling off the entire clientbase rather than a peice ?"
> I have thank you However right now I beleive this is the best step for the company.

Peter,

Is there a reason for the 48 hour limit? I'm interested in bidding but I'm right in the middle of an office move. Anyway, I guess I will have to do the best I can

[PBFerrigan]

I would like to process the order soon, there is no particular reason for the 48 hour limit. Please send me an email to talk about your bid.

[astutiumRob]

Is this a new hosting business you took on and are splitting up or have you always been m-h ? only i've seen it for sale before ...

[astutiumRob]

UK based Othello TechnologySystems Ltd offer $1200 for the clientbase, which we would move onto our own CPanel servers.

Please PM me the details of the nameservers, and which of those clients you manage the domains for as the move is less straightforward due to it not being the entire clientbase

Can you also PM me the IP address of the server please
