Looking to sell two Hosting Companies

[Nerdie]

Hi Guys,


I have two hosting brands that we are wanting to sell, one makes around $15K/year where the other is somewhat new and is poised to make $5k/year according to WHMCS.


If you have any interest or want more information, feel free to reach out.


Not sure if this is the right section or not.

Are they tailored to shared, VPS, dedi, etc.?

Cloudieweb included in them?

If the larger brand is making roughly what a kid flipping burgers at McDonald's makes then it's definitely not Cloudieweb because Cloudieweb is "one of the world [sic] leading hosting providers" and "one of the largest, most reputable budget friendly hosting providers around" and offers "features unheard of by other hosting providers."


My question: are the recently acquired Nexhost customers and business among the assets being sold (since one of the previous owners recently mentioned  $15K in annual sales for Nexhost)...if so it would be the 4th time in a year that customer list has been passed around.

poised to make $5k/year according to WHMCS.

WHMCS is being used as the primary recordkeeping / accounting system for the business?


Also, not to be an asshole but if you could explain what happened with  A (from last month) and B (from 2009/2010) it might reassure buyers who are wary of entering into agreements to buy either of these brands.

Normally I'd let stuff fly if a seller even remotely appeared to be clean on things... assets being passed around and multiple threads out there about 'issues' post pay yeah, necessary to say buyers beware.

 

[drmike]

So it begins.


I said this guy smelled selling stuff here.

The above is allegedly a chargeback by Nerdie for unauthorized payment to StealthyHosting. @stealthyhosting

 

[HalfEatenPie]

Wait so what happened?  Nerdie charged back to StealthyHosting?  Why?

off topic: Would that be the Nerdie who is banned from WHT on multiple IDs?


on topic: more screenshots and background for DrMike's post: NerdieMedia bought ClamHost last month and this week ClamHost customers received an email from NerdieMedia claiming that all data had been lost because the previous owner didn't pay the server bills and the datacenter turned the servers off.  According to a post and screenshots on another forum, ClamHost's former owner Thomas and the datacenter owner are both claiming that the reason for the servers being turned off is because NerdieMedia did a chargeback of a payment to the datacenter.  ClamHost's former owner is also claiming that NerdieMedia charged back the purchase price of the domain.

edited to add: aside from the chargebacks, you have to question the business judgment of anyone who would enter into agreements to buy anything from either Thomas (former ClamHost owner) or Jordan (former NexHost owner,  and he also worked for ClamHost) given their public antics and complete lack of professionalism they demonstrated on numerous threads over the past couple of years (who can forget both Thomas and Jordan's lengthy Centarra drama thread 2 years ago, or more recently Jordan's public meltdowns on LET after he acquired NexHost)

What a crazy group of autistics.  These lads need to take up baseball or just beating the crap out of piñatas.


The industry won't miss these clowns.   McKeag probably like usual has 30 other shells live.

Yeah that email to his clients sounds really fishy.


What the Nerdie email to his clients doesn't show is that datacenters NEVER wipe the server's hard drives for at least a week or two AFTER shutting down the servers.


Why would you ever shut down the servers and immediately wipe the hard drives from a non-paying client?  Shutting down the server is one of the faster ways to get the client to come back and pay their tab.


@Nerdie any information regarding this?  Because right now it's definitely smells fishy the way you're approaching this.

According to the screenshots these were colocated servers which makes the wiped drives excuse even more unbelievable.

Yeah which then the DC only has the right to shut the servers off, but not touch the servers at all.
