There is a flurry of buying and selling activity in the web hosting sector, as bigger companies - buyout smaller ones. Buying and selling a web hosting company is fraught with problems at the best of times. The situation is significantly worse when buying and selling online. Often dealing with people in different continents, people hiding behind anonymous email addresses and telephone numbers, it's a recipe for disaster. Everyday we hear stories of conmen duping unsuspecting buyers or instances where sales have gone through only to see the customer based rapidly drop off.

Information is power, but finding information or guidelines on the buying and selling process is difficult to come by. That is one of the main reasons why the buying and sell process fails because neither party is fully informed or prepared.

Buysellhost.com aims to offer a safe environment for buyers and sellers to conduct business whilst still maintaining complete anonymity for bargaining parties. By introducing verification checks and a feed back system, we aim to eliminate fraud and deception. We start the process of Due Diligence (DD) by running independent checks on both parties. Members are only allowed to post or search adverts once we are satisfied they are genuine.

Although our primary focus is the selling and buying of web hosting companies, we also offer the facility to sell domains and other business websites.

BuySellHost.com plans to launch in two phases, the first phase is free for all new sign ups & the second phase will have a paid option. During the first phase certain features will not be available such as extra ad features (including bolding, attention grabbers & featured listings), the escrow services & comprehensive checks (we will only run very basic checks). We will appreciate your suggestions during the development phase.
