Established Developed Hosting Directory *FOR SALE*

[RealityHosting]

www.ChooseAHost.com is now up for sale.

This is a hosting directory site, that's fully functional and complete. It includes a unique site design (you recieve full rights and PSD files for this desing) plus a premium domain and a hosting directory script that has been modified and improved.

The current advertising scheme which is set at standard rates for a successful site, would bring in over 400 per month if sold out. Note this doesn't include Google adwords (The Hosting Links section is indended for Google Adwords, but could be used for something else)

All you have to do after purchasing the site is advertise it and make it successful.


Site Features:
Dynamic web-based administration

This will allow you to easily add or remove categories and listings right from a browser as well as send out the site newsletter. No manual editing of the files required!


Your visitors will be able to add their site, edit their listing, report broken links and rate companies.

Advertising page is already setup for subscription billing through paypal. You can modify the prices easily if you'd like to lower or raise the rates with a webpage editor.

Includes a site search feature.

Banner ads , small buttons and 480x60 at top are powered by PHPAdsNew. If the sale goes over $350, I will install an configure PHHAdsNew on your server free of charge.

The Category Sponsor links are not automated. They must be MANUALLY edited, but it is very easy to do. The code contains comments which tell you exactly what to change.

The regular sponsor links along the side are added in the Admin Panel.




What's included in the purchase:

-The script powering the site, the unique design that is yours alone and will not be resold. Once the sale is finalized, and you have recieved all the files, they will be removed from my hard drive.

-All PSD files

-www.chooseahost.com domain name, registered at Enom (free push to your account)

-Free transfer of the website. (We will move the website to your server at not additional cost to you)


Reason for sale:
This site was originally not for sale , and was intended for my own use. However due to unforseen circumstances I am unable to develop this site so I am putting it up for sale.

Asking Price:

I'm going to start bidding at $250. As I said previously if the site is promoted properly it could easily earn in excess of $400 USD per month for the owner.


Is there a buyout price?
If you wish to buy the site immediately, I would accept $550, however if the
bidding gets near that price I will probably let things play out.


If you have any questions about the site or sale, please feel free to contact me.

How is the hosting news added? Is it automatic or do you have to add the news yourself.

Is this a custom script? If not what is the name of it.

Did you personally design the unique design?

Is there any traffic worth mentioning?

Lastly, when does the bidding end? This is very crucial to my interest in the website.

I am very interested, please keep me up to date.

Hi Nick,

1. The hosting news is a feed from w3reports.com so it's automatically updated.

2. The script was originally one of the common "turnkey scripts" that are for sale everywhere. However as I mentioned, it has been customized to the point where it's a brand new site with many more features.

3. The unique design was by designer whom I have worked with on several occasions and trust implicitly. I worked very closely throughout the design process and I often guided it's direction. I can personally guarentee that this design will be delivered to the winning bidder and ONLY the winning bidder.

4. There is no traffic, the site was only recently completed.

5. The bidding will end one week from Today (next thursday) Unless someone exercises the buy it now option.

Hope this helps!

Would like to know what is develloped in this site?
Is there any mailing list, traffic or better and not the less advertising campaign?

Good luck with your sale.

PS: Maybe not my concern but i begin to be very frustrated by this kind of thread. I know it is not permitted to flame here, and be sure that i am not, but i would like to take the attention of moderators to this kind of advertising.

Your site is not devellopped at all and i would suggest to put in your title "Turnkey Site" rather than "Develloped Site"

Just my 2 cents, and above all, Good luck again.

By my definition a "developed site" is a site that has a complete design and is fully functional.

This is not a "turnkey" or "template" site. It is unqiue and will only be sold once. I have sold turnkey sites before and I clearly marked the subject like as "Turnkey Sites for sale" I have no intention to mislead potential buyers.

 

[dotNAMES]

This is only your definition.

 

[RealityHosting]

So why is your defintion any more right than mine? Please stop filling my sales thread with needless posts. If you wish to discuss this matter further, please PM me and I would be more than happy to continue the discussion.

Please don't fight in my sales thread.

 

[NickRac]

bah, I know it's your sale and everything but don't you think a week is a little long? Stuff gets lost...also - is this posted on any other forums?

 

[RealityHosting]

Hi Nick,

I don't see a problem with you questioning the length of the auction, that's a valid question pertaining to the sale.

However, I don't feel a week is too long, my auctions usually run for a week...and it's always worked fine for me.

Yes I have posted the auction on a few other forums, if you PM me I will link you to them (I don't think it'd be respectful to put links to other forums on the public board)

Dave,

Could you please advise if that script provides for prioritisation or ordering of links? Eg if there were 10 hosts in the budget hosting category is it possible to determine which ones are listed as first, second and third on the list?

Could you also please PM me the other forums where this is listed for sale?

Thanks,

Fergal
