Anyone up for aquire a Shared Hosting Business?

Hello,
I have been running a shared web hosting company for 9 years, and it is profitable, but now the cpanel prices are high, and I cannot manage the service as I have moved to some other services.

So, if anyone wants to acquire a shared hosting service, let me know; it's a registered business in India. More details in inbox. My asking price is $14000, so please, if you have a large enough budget, then you can contact me.

    Care to share details, such as income, costs.

    This may save wasteful messages.

    I would like to not to post them publically if someone intersted then I will.

  • Dont worry nothing is fishy here, I am just unable to manage the service anymore.

    You do not need to give exact info

    Just things like

    costs approx x per month
    income approx x per month

    This just gives an idea, some companies I took over stated they had X income in 12 months but kept deeply hidden how they arrived at that income for the previous 12 months.

    overall details will be key for anyone here

  • i will buy for $3.50 ok

    Asking price is too high for me to even think.
    Must be a well known brand. Good luck for your sale :)

    Exactly; someone might have a large income over the past 12 months because they sold lifetime plans as exit from market.

    Information is required, especially if a business from India wants that kind of money. Besides $14k in India is a lot of money because living in India is much cheaper when compared to west-european countries.

  • I am curious about the brand though. What brand are we talking about? The member of opening post is not a provider on LET to figure this out.

    Hello,
    I am currently running a shared hosting service with cpanel, but now the price has increased, and I am unable to make profit; I have around 2000+ cpanel accounts, So I have two questions:

    1. I want to shift to DirectAdmin with lower price + Cpanel with higher price (Your take on it)
    2. What kind of security measures do I need to take for shared hosting?
    3. How to improve website loading speed (Mostly uses wordpress)

    Need Help, Please let me know!

    The other posts / discussions by OP are also ... interesting.

  • It sounds like you have a well-established shared hosting business that could be a great opportunity for someone looking to enter the market.

    Yes, I think who is willing to buy my company is not a dumb person!; he/she will check all the details before buying my company. So thanks for your investigation.

    Its a quite well known brand among bloggers in india.

    Yes but it needs a good management guy who can manage and increase the profits.

    Yes, because I resell the server, and I think for sellers, it's mandatory to have an AS number. so thats why I am not a provider.

    Actually I valued the company, annual profits x 3

  • Sounds good. What is your proposal? Please DM me.

    But my customers are not willing to, Already talkeed to my customers so now I think its time to exit and give my clients to someone who is already doing this kind of business well.

    so you are making less than $400 profit per month, and you asking for $14000???

    dude, the world is not working that way~

  • This is like asking VC for funding but asking them to sign NDA without any pitch deck, no info of founder etc.

    There are quite a few red flags:

    1. Asking $14k without any proof as to why this amount.
    2. cPanel price is a profit issue at the moment.
    3. Needs a buyer with good management skills (who already pays $14k)
    4. Needs a buyer who can increase profits (which needs increasing).
    5. He already talked with his customers.
    6. Selling something which should already be profitable (in India).

    Yes, I guess I'll call it: the end is nigh on this one. I just don't know in who's name should I make the popcorn.

  • He probably means 14000 rupee.
