Thread: Established Hosting Business for Sale

Hi

Due to lack of time and other commitments we're looking for interested parties to purchase our established hosting company assets.

I can provide more details after an NDA but here's some basic details:

UK Data Centre
Annual Profit after operating costs: £40,000
Colocated Racks - APC (Racks are owned): 2
Power to each rack: 4No 16amp with power redundancy through APC transfer switches
No Servers - total: 32 mixture of Quad\Dual Xeons, and some Pentium D and P4. 2-8GB Ram in each server, 85% of servers have 4No hot swap drives with minimum RAID1 (most RAID10). All are from a major manufacturer of rackmount servers.
Number Dedicated Servers: 19
Number VPS Servers: 2
Number Shared hosting Servers: 1
Shared Resource Servers e.g. DBs, Email, DNS, FTP etc: 10
Control Panel: Helm 3 with upgrade protection
All servers Windows OS
Managed Gigabit Network - redundant L3 managed
Gigabit Hardware Firewalls - redundant pair
APC Zero-U Remote Reboot Switches
KVM systems with bios access to all servers
All equipment owned outright
Ave Monthly Total Data Transfer: 800GB (there isn't a 0 missing here!)
Average Support Requests per month: 20 - mostly general questions rather than problems


It's a smooth running, highly organized, operation ready to take over with the ability to run it as an on-going established business from day 1. No loans, overdrafts, or leases. There's a huge potential for a company or person with more time than we have to manage the set-up and grow the business.

Please note: this is for the sale of the hosting assets including the above, all software licences (owned outright), and all hosting clients. The company itself is not for sale. The advantage to you is that you don't take on any of our potential company liabilities and you take over a profitable business operation with a guaranteed clean slate.

Please reply with company details. We will credit-check any replies before taking this further.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I'll get the NDA's sent tomorrow if I get back to the office early enough or over the weekend.

Hi,

Please also send NDA to me david.simmons@elite.net.uk.

Many Thanks,

Dave

I appreciate your concern and frustration but there are valid reasons for withholding that information at this time. I'm not trying to be evasive for the sake of being awkward but we want to be the ones to approach our customers about what is potentially happening before they find out from another source.
