Description:

InvestByte.com is a powerfull webhosting application. You can store your files online and make them worldwide accessible, anytime and to anyone by providing an exact link to them. It works just like rapidshare and other big websites. It was developed at the beginning of this year. It is based on a free script called Mini File Host. The script was modified by creating a brand new design cross-browser compatible and fully liquid (it looks the same on any browser), on which I spend 300$ and a fancy flash upload progress bar on which I spent another 200$. Site takes aprox 30 minutes per day to spend on, and does not require any advertising at all. I did a little advertising by posting into webmaster related forums back in February, but now there is no need to do so. The website runs without any problem on a constant level of traffic per day: 10.000 UV with about 20.000 - 25.000 page views. Highest day was 16.000 on the 12th of April 2008. The website has an admin backend from where you can manage the whole website. Website has aprox 65 GB of data and generates about 300-500 GB of traffic per day. The website is hosted in Romania right now but I can't seem to get along with the hosting company anymore so I decided to sell it.
Whatever you do, don't get hosting in Romania even if it's free! I recommend you this server: http://www.giga-international.com/detail_server.php?id=99 hosted in Germany. I will move the website for free for the new owner on his new dedicated server. I will also teach the new owner how to administrate the website. I can use any instant messaging systems. I want a fast clean sale (no longer than one week), since the exams come soon so I have to prepare. Minimum bid is 2000$, the reserve price is 5000$. Expect to get around 6000$. You can pay me via PayPal or Western UNion. I do not take escrow, someone told me it takes to long. However, I can do a bit by bit transfer: money / domain / money / website content transfer to your server / money / admin login username and pass.

Revenue Details:

Revenue is brought in from Direct RightMedia (the company recently aquired by Yahoo!). A steady income of about 1000$ is generated per month, and rising.
There are 12 networks that compete for my adspace and the adspace is filled 100%. Payment rate and date depends on each network alone.

Traffic Details:

Traffic is generated from hundreds and hundreds of websites that host their files on our server. A steady 10.000 unique visits per day visit the website. You can see live traffic here: http://www.gtop.ro/stat/www.investbyte.com/ . In technical matters, site creates about 300-500 GB of daily traffic at a rate of 65 GB of space used. Alexa rank used to be around 60.000, but now it is only around 100.000, since the new system is implemented :( http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/investbyte.com

I am selling my website because of some family problems and due to the fact that I do not get along with my hosting provider anymore ( they know that this website brings in lots of money, so they charge more and more for hosting it ).

    4 fakhir_iqbal: no problem, it usually happens, the antiviruses usually have the option of blocking ads as a default option.

    Seems interesting, but I only see 1 link in Google, 161 in Yahoo and a PR1. How in the world do you get 300,000 uniques a month? How about some traffic screen shots?

    @anturn: the script does not delete your file, there are 50 or more files uploaded each day on the server. After you upload a file, there are two sections, try not to "right click and copy", I think you are accidentally accessing the delete link :)
