Short and simple, I am interested in purchasing full/part ownership of an established host. Don't pitch me your "hosting company" that has been running for a week, cause I could care less.

Requirements:
- Been around for at least 2 months
- Website
- At least 10 clients
- Sell either MC Server Hosting or Website Hosting
- Be able to present a spreadsheet outlining costs

If you want to get in touch, pm me

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

I’m not interested in selling my company, but out of curiosity what is your budget?

Depending on the extent to which a host is established, I am willing to spend at least $1000. It really depends on the business I suppose

Why not just start a new one? Would be better if you have a big budget such as $1000. It's better to just start a new host imo.

The reason I’m not necessarily interested in starting from the ground up is that the “hosting” market is so over saturated. In my person opinion, it’s better to acquire a business with an established client base. If I don’t find a host willing to sell that fits my requirements, I may end up following your suggestion

There’s lots of nice new host, that you could probably start with or join them as a partner. They might not have a big player base but they are definitely something to look at.

That’s very true, looking to reach out to a few over the course of the next couple days

Yeah, do that. All you would do if your able to provide is help boost a company which then you could also be an owner of it which would end the end help “your” company grow more successful.

The thing is, don't do Minecraft hosting. Start with regular web, discord, and vps hosting. Game hosting is just dead now. Most of the people already know where to go and i don't thing they'd try a new host when they already know a good host. So my advice is, don't do game hosting. You can be successful without it.

100% agreed. The game market is hard to compete in unless you have something never seen before that people want which is hard to find that on thing. It would just be worth it to do VPS & Web.
