I have not done anything in the last 3 - 6 months (july was last time I was working hard on the site) to make money off of the free hosting aspect. I have concentrated on other business stuff and my day job. That does not mean that I have neglected the free host in anyway (I have maintained, supported and worked on the business since it began...I have been answering emails ect this whole time)...I just have not done anything to make a profit off of the free host in the last several months. I have made a considerable residual income off of premium hosting in part by hostingeveryone.com's free hosting, as it attracts a lot (around 25 new sign ups a day on average) of customers that are obviously looking for hosting or access to some form of hosting...but my premium accounts are not for sale with this business, as that is a seperate hosting company at this point. That is part of why I am selling the free hosting company. People keep coming to the site and signing up, and I am looking for someone that would like to take this rare opportunity and turn it into a finely oiled business machine. With 610 new signups so far in december (an average of 27.7 a day) and over 18,000 members, this site deserves to have someone with time and motivation to make it grow and make it into the next geocities. With my first baby on the way, my time for this will decrease instead of increase.
Now...that being said...the scripts allow for paid upgrades and for free members to pay to become premium members...all of which is setup in the scripts. The scripts also allow for advertising to be displayed on ALL free members webpages. The scripts also allow free members instead of using a subdomain to use their own registered domain name (premium members have this option obviously too, so combined this with a domain resellers account or your own registrar equals even more profit. I intended to do this, but once again...no time and even less now. I have not set up any of the advertising functions of the script, so I can not provide info on that. The upgrade to premium hosting is setup and integrated with the free hosting script, but I have setup premium accounts by hadn on a different server rather than use this automatic function that comes with the script. And once again, I am not selling off any of my premium hosting clients with this sale or any of my servers.
This business will be a great way to sell advertising or use google adsense, as it wil generate income from others websites on your free accounts and when they come to login to your site ect...
This is a very rare opportunity to take over a very established free hosting company...and take it the places that I originally intended it to go.
Please PM me with any questions or offers

The script is a 3rd party script that a license was purchased for this domain alone. The script was configured for this domain and allows for customization. My programmers have not done a lot to customize the script other than cosmetically.
thanks for your questions...please PM me with offers, as I need to get this into someones hands that will make use of all the great traffic and signups
