<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>Established Windows and Linux VPS/RDP hosting business serving customers across multiple regions. The business was built around providing fast server deployment, flexible recurring plans and a largely automated customer journey from ordering through billing and provisioning.</p><p>The operation runs through WHMCS with automated billing, renewals and provisioning, supported by established infrastructure providers and a custom-built website/frontend.</p><p><b>Key highlights</b></p><p>• TTM revenue: ~€40,141 / ~$47K</p><p>• TTM operating profit: ~€13,722 / ~$16K</p><p>• Operating margin: ~34%</p><p>• €218K+ revenue generated since 2023</p><p>• 10,000+ orders processed</p><p>• 250+ active customers</p><p>• Active customer base has remained around 250–260 in recent months</p><p>• Monthly, quarterly and annual recurring plans</p><p>• Windows and Linux VPS/RDP products</p><p>• Multi-region infrastructure</p><p>• Automated WHMCS billing and provisioning</p><p>• Minimal structured digital marketing historically</p><p>• Large historical registered-user/customer database</p><p><b>Churn:</b></p><p>Non-renewal is the primary form of churn rather than explicit cancellations. The active customer base has remained relatively stable, while historical product retention varies by plan. Churn has not historically been tracked as a dedicated KPI.</p><p><b>LTV:</b></p><p>Not formally tracked as a dedicated KPI.</p><p><b>CAC:</b></p><p>Not formally tracked. The business has historically relied heavily on organic/direct acquisition rather than structured paid advertising, leaving significant room for a buyer to build a measurable acquisition engine.</p><p><b>Team</b></p><p>The business operates with a lean structure and a high level of automation.</p><p>WHMCS handles customer accounts, invoicing, recurring billing and much of the provisioning workflow. Server infrastructure and networking are supplied through established third-party providers.</p><p>A buyer with an existing hosting operation could integrate the customer base into its existing support and infrastructure environment.</p><p><b>Tech stack</b></p><p><b>Frontend:</b></p><p>• Static SEO-prerendered HTML</p><p>• Vanilla JavaScript</p><p>• Custom CSS</p><p>• Node.js build pipeline</p><p><b>Infrastructure / deployment:</b></p><p>• Node.js</p><p>• Docker</p><p>• Coolify</p><p>• Traefik</p><p>• Linux</p><p>• Windows Server</p><p><b>Business operations:</b></p><p>• WHMCS</p><p>• VirtFusion</p><p>• Stripe</p><p>• Crypto payment processing</p><p><b>Monitoring / analytics:</b></p><p>• UptimeRobot</p><p>• Google Tag Manager</p><p>• Analytics tooling</p><p>The frontend is lightweight and does not depend on React, Next.js, Tailwind or a large frontend framework.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>One of the largest opportunities is that the business has reached its current scale with very limited structured digital marketing.</p><p>Potential growth opportunities include:</p><p>• SEO and content marketing</p><p>• Google and performance advertising</p><p>• Email lifecycle campaigns</p><p>• Reactivation of historical registered users</p><p>• Improved renewal and retention campaigns</p><p>• Affiliate and referral programs</p><p>• Conversion-rate optimization</p><p>• New server locations</p><p>• Additional VPS and dedicated-server products</p><p>• Reseller and white-label hosting</p><p>• Cross-selling and upselling to existing customers</p><p>• Improved customer segmentation</p><p>• Social and community marketing</p><p>A buyer with an existing hosting brand, marketing team or infrastructure could potentially accelerate growth significantly faster than the current operation.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><ul> <li>2023: €50,759</li> </ul> <ul> <li>2024: €84,410</li> </ul> <ul> <li>2025: €59,210</li> </ul> <ul> <li>TTM: €40,141</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Revenue generated since 2023: €218,000+</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Current TTM operating expenses: ~€26,419</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Current TTM operating profit: ~€13,722</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Current operating margin: ~34%</li> </ul> <p>The business experienced stronger revenue in prior years, including more than €84K in 2024. Current revenue is below that peak, creating an opportunity for a buyer to rebuild growth through marketing, retention and product expansion.</p><p><b>ROI</b></p><p>The acquisition offers both existing cash flow and strategic upside.</p><p>A financial buyer receives an established recurring-revenue hosting operation, while an existing hosting provider may be able to create additional value by:</p><p>• Migrating customers onto existing infrastructure</p><p>• Reducing duplicated server and software costs</p><p>• Using an existing support team</p><p>• Cross-selling other hosting products</p><p>• Improving renewal rates</p><p>• Monetizing the historical customer database</p><p>• Introducing structured digital acquisition</p><p>For a strategic hosting buyer, infrastructure consolidation could increase contribution margins beyond the business's current standalone profitability.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><p>• Established VPS/RDP hosting brand</p><p>• Primary domain</p><p>• Website and complete frontend codebase</p><p>• WHMCS customer and billing database</p><p>• 250+ active customers</p><p>• Historical customer/registered-user database</p><p>• 10,000+ historical orders</p><p>• Product and pricing configurations</p><p>• Billing and provisioning workflows</p><p>• Infrastructure and deployment configurations</p><p>• SEO pages and website content</p><p>• Documentation and operational knowledge</p><p>• Analytics and historical financial data</p><p>• Marketing assets</p><p>• Supplier and infrastructure relationships, where transferable</p><p>Sensitive credentials and third-party accounts would be transferred or transitioned only where permitted by the relevant provider.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>The main risks are customer non-renewal, competition in the VPS market, reliance on infrastructure suppliers, and revenue being below the historical 2024 peak.</p><p>These risks can be reduced through:</p><p>• Better retention and renewal automation</p><p>• Diversifying infrastructure providers</p><p>• Expanding server locations</p><p>• Improving customer support and onboarding</p><p>• Introducing lifecycle email marketing</p><p>• Developing stronger SEO and paid acquisition</p><p>• Cross-selling additional products</p><p>• Consolidating infrastructure under an existing hosting operator</p><p>The business has already demonstrated substantially higher historical revenue, providing evidence that there is room to recover and grow from the current run rate.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>This is an established, revenue-generating hosting operation rather than a pre-revenue project.</p><p>A buyer receives an existing customer base, recurring revenue, 10,000+ historical orders, automated WHMCS operations, a complete website and technology stack, historical financial records and several years of operating history.</p><p>The strongest opportunity is that much of this has been achieved without a mature digital marketing engine. An experienced hosting operator can potentially improve growth, retention and margins while avoiding the time and cost required to build a comparable customer base and operating platform from scratch.</p><p>✅ $28,735 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 250 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: SaaS</p><p>✅ Built with&nbsp;Node.js, Docker, JavaScript</p>
