The site is hosted on Cpanel, user will have the option to download a Full Cpanel Backup and re-run it on their site.
The site is powered by PHProxy.
Users originally came from proxy.org, however, after a while, I believe the domain was easy to remember and they just do it from bookmark instead.

Before you ask why some days we do not have any visitors and some days we have so little and some missing stat. It is because of a large amount of users visit the site that our server do not have the capacity to handle the users.
The missing stat days were because we were moving server, one of which on a shared account which has been suspended so we do not have access to those missing day stat.
Why suspended? Because of site utilizing a lot of server resources.
Why so little users on some days? Because slow server and downtime.

Buyer should know in advance that the site use a lot of server resources, if you have the server-power, then you will be able to take in ~20,000 uniques per day as you can see on a 3-4 days in our October.

We recently switched from adsense to clicksor to see how it is, testing purposes, buyer should have the option to utilize the 2000 uniques with their own advertisement power.
I want to sell this site because I want to put together a large amount of money to build a large project.

Hosting
I will provide 1 week hosting for the buyer to have time to transfer it to the new server. Afterward, the account will be removed from ours.

Offers
Offers: Anything above 2000 will be considered
BIN: 2600$ USD
Payment via: Paypal
Is this an Auction?: No

I reserve the right to sell early if BIN is met, or cancel this bidding if BIN is not met or sell it to a reasonable offer. Any reasonable offers will be considered, not just BIN only.

PM or reply for bidding.

Please ask if you have any questions, or confused about anything.

[dev99]

The site has been going for just over a month, where is all the traffic coming from, can you post a SS of where the links are coming from. thanks

Hello,

It is currently on a VPS, however, it is not able to handle such a large site. As stated in my post, this site will utilize a lot of server resources.
The site is currently using phproxy, I was not the original person who set it up and not much familiar with phproxy. As a buyer, you will have the ability to modify your site, change it anyway you wish.

This is the referral stats:

The site originally take traffic in from proxy.org, however, I believe due to the easy to remember name, the stat that was referred is little now. They visit mostly from bookmark as one of the screenshot shows.

A bid of 550$ USD has been noted.

How much do you currently pay for hosting this site?

 

[vphost]

Hello,

Payment for hosting should be irrelevant, the buyer should already have a hosting in mind and hosting will will be provided for only 1 week.
I run a hosting business at the moment, so the hosting does not count into this.

Regards,

 

[downloadfreak]

vphost, why is it irrelevant to ask? for all we know you could be paying $5 monthly or $300+ monthly

 

[vphost]

Hello,

My apologies, as stated in earlier post, the buyer should know that the site utilizes a lot of server resources, so it requires that the buyer have a server that can manage such resource. A dual xeon, suggested by noname.

Nonetheless, the site at the moment is shared on a VPS, which costs ~39$ USD / Month.

a similar site was sold here, for much less.
http://namepros.com/showthread.php?t=114466

domain name is the same number of letters,
site was 7 months old, not 2 months old.
revenue was less, but the revenue here is based on a small amount of time.
its BIN was 200 and way sold for 110.

 

[vphost]

Hello,

Buyer will have to evaluate whether the site is worth buying and give the best offer.

However, I will not sell this site for less than 2000$ USD. If this site is not sold by Wednesday October 19th, 2005, I will utilize the unique visitors and build a different content out of this.

Thank you for your time in reading this

After a few PMs and suggestions from a couple of users from different forum, I've again changed my mind and modify the BIN to 1800$ USD.

Regards,

 

[vphost]

I've yet to recieve any offer that meets my criteria yet, if I do not recieve any by 1PM, I'll withdraw this.
