 Established proxy site, 700-1,000 visitors per day, 140,000 visitiors (proxy page)
* URL: http://www.ticksurf.com
* Established: 4 Nov 2007
* Uniques/Month: 142,640
* Page views/month: 2,548,890
* Monthly Revenue: $34.38 (11 days)
* Listed: 14 Nov 2007
Starting Bid: $100
Bidding increases: $30
BIN: $520
I am selling an established proxy running on PHProxy 0.5. It gets around 140,000 thousand people visiting the proxy page, and about 700-1,000 people visiting the index daily. There’s more information about the traffic below with screenshots.
There is still roughly 2-3 weeks of proxy.org advertising left with this proxy. I purchased a bolded listing (one month) for $20 on the 4th November 2007.
We use admin@ticksurf.com as our contact email, if you want to take control of that email address when you’ve purchased the proxy you can.
The design is unique and custom made by me, you will get the design with the site.
The domain was registered on the 3rd November 2007 at namecheap.com. You obviously get the domain too.
We're selling because our host doesn't have enough resources to manage the proxy, which explains why it may be a bit slow at the moment. EDIT - We now have a new host, but we're still selling. Special thanks to Jamie B and http://earnershost.com for helping us with the hosting.
We’ve made $34.38 in just under eleven days. We’ve done very well with the adsense in such a short space of time.
Someone purchased an $8.99 banner advertisement, the $8.99 has been added to the total revenue. We can give you the details of the person that purchased the advertising.

The traffic on Tick Surf has been very good, we have had 700-1,000 people viewing the index page daily and around 140,000 people viewing the proxy page over the past 11 days. As I said earlier, I purchased a one month bolded listing on proxy.org for $20, there’s still a good couple of weeks left on that. I’ve been advertising on forums, websites and publicly. Analytics was only added to the index page.

Best of luck, I assume "We're selling because our host doesn't have enough resources to manage the proxy, which explains why it may be a bit slow at the moment." doesn't apply anymore though correct?

Are there any running costs of this business, besides $5 per month hosting?

We paid $20 to advertise it on proxy.org, if we would have carried on running it we would have probably paid that every month.
Current bid: $300 at SitePoint

Your proxy gets around 20-30k visits a day, maybe that's why its slow. Sites like yours should ideally be on a VPS at least, its too much even for a shared host to handle, especially since its a proxy.

I don't see what that's got to do with this topic, sorry?

Well I think it's important that the potential buyer is going to have to put some investment into the proxy straight away, running on a shared account for $5 per month isn't going to cut it. Proxy sites are highly resource hogging sites and it will become more and more popular, putting more demand on the server it sits on. Your best bet is to upgrade to a VPS or Dedicated server, I think it would be beneficial to your post to add that this upgrade is needed when the new owner takes over.
The new owner is pretty much screwed if he is told that the proxy is too resourceful for the provider and tells them they need to upgrade to a VPS.
I'll speak to you on msn.
