Summary
Opportunity to acquire a profitable, established web hosting business with a loyal recurring client base, and over a decade of continuous operation across two well-regarded brands.
Revenue
$191,200 pa
Potential
Established web hosting and managed infrastructure business operating across two brands with 850+ active domains generating $191,200 per annum in recurring revenue (ex GST). Significant upside available through Microsoft 365 upsell to the large cPanel email base, hosting price reviews, SSL renewals, and VPS hosting using the existing Proxmox virtualisation environment. A buyer with existing hosting infrastructure could migrate clients onto their own platform, pushing margins toward 90% or beyond.
Skills
Suitable for an existing web hosting provider, managed service provider, digital agency, or IT support business with experience managing client relationships and hosting environments. Technical server management can be performed in-house or via the existing contractor relationship. Both the casual support staff member and the technical contractor are available to transition to a new owner if required, making this a straightforward acquisition for a buyer with any level of existing technical capability.
Employees
A casual support employee and a technical contractor are currently engaged. Both are available to transition to a new owner subject to agreement. A buyer with existing technical capacity could absorb this work in house at minimal marginal cost.
Reason for Sale
The director has made the decision to sell due to health circumstances. Having built and operated the business for nearly two decades, the sale presents an excellent opportunity for an existing hosting provider, IT services company, digital agency, or entrepreneur to acquire an established client base, purpose-built infrastructure, and a proven recurring revenue platform.
About the Business
This is an established Australian web hosting and managed infrastructure business operating since the early 2000s across two brands: Onne with primarily NSW client and another primarily QLD clients.
The business provides a comprehensive suite of recurring infrastructure services including cPanel web hosting, email hosting, DNS management, SSL certificates, Microsoft O365/Exchange, and domain management to a loyal base of small and medium business clients across Australia.
The sale includes:
850+ active domains and 1,600 active service items across two WHMCS billing platforms
Purpose-built dedicated rack at Equinix SY4, plus shared rack at Equinix SY3
Owned Cisco server hardware - no lease obligations
Proxmox virtualisation environment - immediately deployable for VPS hosting
All client relationships, billing history, and service configurations
Transition assistance and handover support from the current director
The client base is exceptionally stable, with the majority of clients on annual billing cycles and client tenures measured in years and decades. No single client represents a material concentration risk.
This opportunity will appeal to web hosting providers, managed service providers, IT support businesses, digital agencies, telcos, and entrepreneurs seeking an established, cash-generative recurring revenue platform with immediate scale.
