I am very sadly looking to sell my free hosting company HostingMe (http://www.hostingme.co.uk) as I have other commitments.

At HostingMe we offer free hosting with fantastic support.

Once customer said "I would describe HostingMe as a very good host. It's support is amazing. I'm not really a expert with websites and hosting but the help HostingMe has given me has been at the highest quality. Since i joined HostingMe i have learned alot thanks to the wonderfull support. The host hardly ever goes down for downtime and is very powerfull. I rate this host as one of the best free hosts around."

Whilst we currently don't force users to display our adverts we trialed it in the past and from 1st June and 31 July 2007 we made $21.76 with 69,276 page impressions.

All accounts are run from a fully managed VPS from powervps.com and is the Linux cPanel Power 2 @ $84.50. This may seem alittle bit expensive but if you have some linux experience this could be run from an unmanaged vps for a lot less.

We currently use iPanel 3.5.7 as the accounts manager and must say that it is a fantastic piece of software and the developers are great.

Clients are pruned weekly for inactivity so all accounts are active we currently have 86 accounts, not alot but like I said all are active and most have been with us for around three months or so.

We are currently using 32 Gb of 40Gb space and 49.84 Gig bandwidth.

Included in the sale;
HostingMe domain (www.hostingme.co.uk)
iPanel owned licence (Worth $79.95)
Centovacast single licence (Worth $39.99)
All clients and their sites.

I am looking for a quick sale so all offers of $200+ will be considered.

Please contact me on email: dquinney@gmail.com or MSN: support@hostingme.co.uk

We haven't advertised the site in quite a while so all signups are word of mouth and currently as we don't place adverts on sites we don't make anything but I have provided some stats of when we did force adverts.

I also forgot to add that we only allow signups from the UK, US and Denmark.

It will be a strange feeling but I have other non hosting projects and need to free up some cash. But thanks for the thought.

When you made that 20 bux, what advertising company did you use?

We were using Google AdSense.
