Dragen Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 okay, I've just recently finished a website for a client, but they are now saying that they cannot afford to pay for the services. Does anyone know a good place to advertise the sale of a website? I spent quite a while working on it and need to get to make some money somehow as I'm pretty skint at the moment So if anyone knows a website or something where I can advertise the website for sale? thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85950-where-can-i-sell-my-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooper3 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 eBay under businesses-> internet businesses sedo.com and many domain parking sites that sell domains will allow you to sell developed websites too. There should be plenty of choices. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85950-where-can-i-sell-my-website/#findComment-438820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragen Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 do many websites actually get successfully sold on Ebay? I looked at sedo.com and it's not quite what I'm wanting. It seems you need the website to be up and running with a domain. All I've got are the files and it running on a test server so anyone can take a look. I did find this site: www.midascode.co.uk which I'm giving a try. Hopefully They'll offer me something!

dooper3 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well it would be worth more up and running with a domain, because then anyone can buy it, otherwise you're limiting yourself to the tech savvy people.

Dragen Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 I know, but I'm not wanting to pay for a domain and a host just to find that no-oe wants it anyway :-\ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85950-where-can-i-sell-my-website/#findComment-438938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I would think it depends on what the website actually does. It sounds like it was made for a particular client (shoud've got some money up front or at least have a contract) and if it's specialized, not much you can do. Find businesses that your client's competitor, then send them a email with what your site does.

tomfmason Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think revraz posted a valid solution. I am finding my self in a similar situation and I have decided that if the client does not pay the remaining balance I will just save the code for a project that is similar to it.

Dragen Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 yeah. The site is a hit counter system, where users can sign up, create custom counters and put them on their site. Although it was made for a client it could quite easily be used by someone else. and yeah. I should've had a written contract, but hey. we all learn by our mistakes Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85950-where-can-i-sell-my-website/#findComment-439000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 one thing is to get some free hosting and point a domain towards it. dyndns allows you to point a domain to a subdomain, domain masking i think. so all you pay is the $9 sum odd dollars for the domain name for a year and just point it towards a free host. then when the site is live, put a thing that says, Site for sale. Click here to learn more, and it takes them to a page with pricing and stuff like that. be sure to write up a contract and post on there in pdf format so they can see the contract before hand, and you will ensure payment this go round Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85950-where-can-i-sell-my-website/#findComment-439039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Come on, hosting and domains are practically free. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85950-where-can-i-sell-my-website/#findComment-439044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 if you play your cards right. like i said, free hosting with a 9 dollar domain pointing to it. or you can do this route: http://www.webhostfreaks.com/starter-hosting.php + $9 per year domain name With that plan you only pay 4 dollars a month. Figure that into the final bill, if you feel you must.

s0c0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What assholes. I hope you learned to get a little bit upfront next time or a contract at least. I've required enough up front so I don't get burned or a contract every since I did some I/T consulting on the side a few years ago. Luckily my lesson only cost me a few hundred. Has anyone suggested namepros.com or how about craigslist. Good luck buddy.

Dragen Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 thanks for the advice! I took a look at craigslist and it didn't really make all that much sense, and namepros seems to be more about domain names, rather than websites. I'll take a closer look through them though and see where I get!
