Dormant Website Hosting Reseller

Listing Details

What does your business do?

Once a successful hosting and domain reseller business, the original partners went separate ways and then sold the site via Flippa. A second owner bought it, didn’t refurbish anything and then I bought it from him a few years ago.

However, I had too many projects running so it went offline for a bit and then a couple years ago I put it back online, but with no active reselling storefront attached so it's been dormant for 3+ years.

You could either run your own hosting SaaS or whitelabel reseller business (like GoDaddy’s reseller). These are EASY to setup.

✅ Aged site with 650+ backlinks, great domain authority
✅ Over 400+ articles on a WP blog
✅ Includes StudioPress Account for Genesis updates and new themes
✅ Twitter Profile with 1.5k followers
✅ Email list of 700+ (never emailed before)
✅ Premium domain was originally bought for $7.5k

✅Lifetime Studiopress.com account for Genesis (valued at $360 per year)

Still brings in organic traffic and just converting a few % of the traffic with $20/mo. website builder, hosting, or email, etc. could create a growing recurring revenue on a monthly basis.

A new owner could really shine things up with some fresh designs and tweaks to get SEO back up again.

How does your business make money?

Selling hosting plans (Wordpress, Cpanel, etc.), email accounts, domain names, etc.

You could even add on some services too like WPbuffs!

Why are you selling this business?

I didn't have the time to devote to the site (running 2 full-time offline businesses) so this was put on the back burner. Also, I never really devoted time to Wordpress.

There's a lot of opportunity with SaaS models and this is a great brand to start with. If someone isn't keen on Wordpress, they could always migrate to Webflow or anything else.

Who would this business be perfect for?

Someone who wants to scale a SaaS or a hosting reseller business.

Even a digital marketer could easily hook up a white-label reseller business and then start marketing and SEO without any of the technical work.

How can the buyer take this project further?

A new buyer can polish up the website, update some blog posts, and mostly just integrate a hosting reseller service (like GoDaddy's white-label reseller program).
