Ready to sell?

Here is our acquisition process

  1. Sign an NDA. If you meet the minimum requirements we'll send you a digitally-signable NDA so we can talk confidently about your specifics.
  2. Review together. We'll look at the state of your company and get to know a little more about your hosting solutions, your clients and your ethos.
  3. Agree the schedule. We'll agree a sale date and a schedule of events for selling your company. This lets us line up the resources required for a smooth transition.
The numbers

Common questions

How much will my web hosting business be worth?

We generally offer 6 to 12 months of the recurring revenue generated from shared hosting, business and reseller hosting accounts. For example, if your company's annual revenue is $42,000 (an average monthly turnover of $3,000), your company could be worth $21,000 to $42,000 — or $24,000 to $45,000 with the majority of users on monthly billing. We are also open to providing a bonus for hitting performance and retention targets on the anniversary.

We are experts at migrating sites and email, and we guarantee a smooth, painless migration from your data center with minimal disruption of service. Clients from previous acquisitions remain active clients with us for years — some on our client list have been with us a decade.

You can also make money by referring users to our hosting services. With our partner program you can refer leads to other products and services, such as our email migration services and managed support.

Let's talk about your exit

Tell us about your company confidentially. If it's a fit, we'll send the NDA and take it from there — and your clients will be looked after the way ours have been since 2007.
