Hello MC-Market! I have created and established a new hosting company, that I no longer wish to run/own. It opened about a month ago with only an mc-market ad for advertising/marketing. I will provide full information below, along with prices paid for everything. Looking for an offer!

Pterodactyl Game Panel (Theme): I have a 0.7 pterodactyl panel custom theme that I purchased from the developer "Kevko". It has a light/dark theme switcher for all users, which you can do in your account settings or the bottom left by clicking the sun or moon. All server pages has a small right sidebar instead of using the main left sidebar, and everything has a nice, clean, and modern design.

Total: $750

(Instead of including pictures for this, I will link the panel link with a demo account so you can have the best possible look at it)
Panel link: https://panel.stellanode.net/
Username: demo
Password: demo

Pterodactyl Game Panel (Addons): I have purchased a few addons from developers, like the backup system, that are open to everyone to purchase. We have also purchased a few completely custom addons from the developer "Marci", who makes a lot of the popular addons on pterodactyl. One of the custom addons is a version Changer for Minecraft servers. This is one he has actually created, but this one is different from that. Instead of the normal page included, it was created for our theme specifically. You click a button on the console page that pulls up a modal with a list of all the version types, with the ability to change them. The next custom addon is the Minecraft plugin installer. Like the version changer, this one already exists but is a little different. He made it specifically for our panel once again, and make a tab for "Popular Plugins" and "Installed Plugins" since by default it gets random plugins, and you have to search and find the exact plugin you have to remove it. Next we have a server information addon. This addon allows server owners to enable a "page" with optional fields, which they would give that link to there community. The page connected to the link shows the server name and description they type out, and the server information such as the IP, subdomain, how many people are on, who is on, whether its offline or online, etc. This addons also allows there community to donate to there server using stripe. Instead of the money going directly to them, it goes to us via stripe, and the money gets added as credit to the server owners WHMCS account. The last custom addon by marci, one of my favorites, is a free server addon. In the admin side of pterodactyl, you can create different free server types using eggs, the amount of ram they get, storage, CPU, Node, Image, etc. These then show on a front end page to all users, where they can create only one free server out of all the options. The free server suspends every 12 hours and makes the user "Resume" the free server. If they don't resume it in 12 hours, it gets deleted. I also have a custom rust plugin installer very much like the minecraft one, and a feature on the server list page where you can select multiple servers and stop, start, restart, and kill them. Ill include pictures below!

Total: $250

WHMCS Billing System Theme: We decided to go with a different route than most companies. Instead of having a HTML site and then our WHMCS to match with it, we did an all in one custom WHMCS theme. It has a pretty nice landing page, and some product pages for Minecraft and Rust. The overall design and theme of our WHMCS is super modern and nice, so it holds some good value.

Total: $200

Graphic Designs: These are some basic graphic designs, logos, banners, etc.

Total: Around $100-150

MC-Market Advertisement: $200 for a two month sidebar, expires April 7th.

Our monthly expenses cover our dedicated servers, website hosting, and WHMCS license.

Budget Dedicated Node: $123 for Intel Core i7 9700K 64GB
Premium Dedicated Node: $139 for Intel Core i9 10900K 64GB
WHMCS Starter License: $18.95 for Up to 250 Clients and no watermark
Plesk Website Hosting: $8

In total invested about $1500 into the company. The monthly budget is estimated to be a little lower that $300. We were looking to remove the budget node and get it to around $170 ish, but with us just releasing we only are making $60-70 at the moment. So the profit isn't 100% there, but the potential sure is if the right person purchases it! I would appreciate any prices sent my way! :)

Lovely website and custom themes! For somebody with a decent budget looking to start a host, this is a great purchase and starting point.

Whilst I am not interested in the business as a whole, if you are in a position now or in future to sell clients on their own, please do get in touch as that would be of interest.

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate that! That's the only problem I see with actually making a sale on this business is that fact that we actually have a low amount of clients, and purchasing them wouldn't really be helpful to any current company. The protentional to grow StellaNode is 100% there with everything included, I just no longer have an interest in doing it, and would love to be able to get at least some of the money back that invested.[DOUBLEPOST=1614734897][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thanks for the reply! Not very much as I have not done a lot of marketing yet, at the moment we have 9 active clients totally to around $102 a month, meaning my original was incorrect. Again, we have only advertised on here via sidebar banner, so with the correct marketing and advertising, I think this business could grow a lot!

Hi, could you please tell me the BIN price? Thanks.
Hello! Thanks for the reply. At the moment two people are in contact with me on discord about the sale, we have not yet decided a price for the purchase. I plan to sell to whoever offers me the most, but since they haven't given me a price, I don't have a BIN price at the moment. If you wanna add me on discord, I can for sure keep you updated! Discord: Pulse.#0001[DOUBLEPOST=1614777387][/DOUBLEPOST]
Thanks so much! :)[DOUBLEPOST=1614777408][/DOUBLEPOST]
